Finding an address

Begbie · 30 Sep 2009 at 22:34

Basically I need to find an address, I know the post code and where it is. Have something to send up, but can't remember the house number. Tried 192.com but they want to charge me.

Any other way?

You could use the post code to see where it is physically, and then use that information to ID the house from the Land Registry.

Begbie · 30 Sep 2009 at 22:39

I have google mapped it and know the house, but don't know the number!

Frustrating a bit.

Google street level available? Guessing you've already tried this...

edit - or 192.com if you can blag a free trial just for one lookup?

sounds like it's down to some old fashioned stalking?

or ask the person you're trying to "send" something to for their address?

Can't seem to find one! Will keep trying though. No street in the area.

Haha, if only it was that simple.

Do you know the person's name? http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha

What about this

Just throw in the postcode and see what pops up

clearly avoiding the stalking issue, I think we've found our answer

other than that, isn't it possible to check cencus' from past years to see who lived at certain addresses, if you know the person and know they've been there for a few years you might find something there?

Digitalle · 30 Sep 2009 at 22:57

Pho Wins.

Begbie · 30 Sep 2009 at 22:59

Yeah, tried that already!

No only the cenus data upto 1911 is available due to some ridiculous law. The electoral roll will have a persons name and address on but you have to pay to access it.

cant you see the neighbours house numbers?

whitecrook · 30 Sep 2009 at 23:11

if you know the name it should be fine. the postie will know who it is for.

Russinating · 30 Sep 2009 at 23:12

Try http://maps.google.co.uk/ (StreetView) and see if you can see any numbers.

Would this work, as not wanting it to get lost.

If it's that important why not just pay to use the electoral roll? :confused:

I can't honestly see the postman memorising everyones name in the area they deliver to.

Le_Petit_Lapin · 1 Oct 2009 at 19:11

So who are you stalking?

BigglesPiP · 1 Oct 2009 at 19:12

Phone book...

I thought anyone could see the electoral roll for free at a library or council office?
