Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 95 Send Message	Im after a bit of advice - I am trying to look for a living relative but all I have is an old address from 1984 ish. I have check the address out and the flats had been demolished. Im not sure what I can do next - the local council offices said there isnt anything I can do because I dont really have a lot of info? Any advice anyone? Colette

	Not sure but it may be worth a call to social services.

	Could she have married and changed her name since 1984? BTW I should doubt social services would have anything unless she has needed their help in the recent past.
