I've been researching my late mother's family, mum was fostered and from the census I've found out that she had a brother and sisters that she knew nothing about. However by tracing her school records I've found out that one of her sisters was fostered by the same person and at the same time. Now mum never mentioned that, for whatever reason I don't know. There is one person, another unrelated child who was fostered by the same family but later. The problem is that although I know her maiden and married name and age her address was lost before my father died. For the last two Christmases she has sent him a card, but did not put an address, and the postmark was illegible. She would now be in her 80's so time is running out if I'm to contact her and hopefully solve the mystery. I know she moved from Sussex some years ago but have no idea where. Has anybody any idea how I might find her?

Her name is Pamela Kelly nee Harvey. Where would I find Electoral Registers? All the ones i've found on live have to paid for, quite expensive too. Thanks in advance for any help.

She's a widow, her husband's name was Bill, short for William I presume, he was a widower when they married, he already had a son, then they had a son together, whos name is Edwin.
