Can anyone help with any where else I can look to find how to contact my cousin:
I have been emailing her for a number of years and she has always replied within a day or two: just lately she has been replying the next day:
Then on 28th Jan that was the last email I received, I replied on the 2nd Feb and nothing from her:

I know that she has a problem with a adult son living with her who she has given notice to quit the family home by the end of Feb:
I know her address but not her phone number:
I have tried to find the phone number but it seems to be unlisted: She has another son not living at home and I have been unable to find any contacts for him:

As a last resort I contacted the NSW police to check on her:
This was their reply "Thank you for contacting NSW police. Local officers went to the address you gave tonight 13th April 2020"
That was the whole message no other details. I emailed them back two days later and still have not had a reply:
I thought of trying the salvation Army:

I tried once more on 4th March trying her email but no luck:

Any ideas please:

I rather think you'll have to wait until the Police have time to respond.

She may simply be ill and/or in hospital

Do you know the names of any of her neighbours, to look for their phone numbers?


Re police -
perhaps confidentiality rules prevent them telling you the outcome of their visit??
Though if that's the case, it would have been good to tell you so.

Yes that's what I put in my second email to the police. Saying if you have enquiries pending I understand, but there should be some thing that you can tell me:
No I have no idea who her neighbours are:

If you enter just the street and town in the search box on this site, it will give you a list of all the people living on that street, with phone numbers:

Thanks ArgyllGran I have tried that one before and it did not work with just the street:
I have tried again with just the area and post code and it worked but gave me over 5000 people I have found one neighbour, so will have to try tonight as it is 4 am over there at the moment:

Hi, I have just phoned the neighbour next door to my cousin and he has told me she is well:
He is going to see her and let her know that I was worried about her:
He also told me that the son has moved out and he took the PC with him so she does not have one at the moment:
Thank you all for all your help:
Another satisfied customer all thanks to you:
