You could write a letter to the local newspaper for the area where they lived in 1968 asking if anyone who knew them at that time knows of their present whereabouts. I was successful in finding the daughter of my grandfather from his second marriage in this way. I got an email on the same night the letter was printed in the newspaper. Kath. x

Tried this for somebody in Scotland quite successfully recently. http://www(.)discountedorfree(.)co(.)uk/Detailed/87(.)html?code=S01 (all one line, remove brackets) If I recall you have to register but at least it's free, and don't forget to bookmark the page as you won't get it back via their home page. Good Luck, Colin.
