If they are at an age where they could of married before 2005 have you tried looking for a marriage for either of them?
Or looked for them on 192.com?

Thanks all for your replies, i have tried facebook but i have found no luck with it.

I myself was adopted when i was very young but im not sure about my sisters as all the info i have on them is their names which was on the back of the only photo i have of them.

i will go to the local council if i can't find an alternative.

Thank you all again,

Regards Matt

Were you/they adopted?

If so, add yourself to the national adoption contact register

Hi Matthew
I dont know lots but a mediator could/should be used. If you go to your city council and enquire they will put you in touch with someone that will be able to help. There may be a small fee though.

Welcome to the boards Matthew.
Have you tried other means of tracing them, such as Facebook, Friends Reunited or 192.com?
Are they old enough to have married?

I've had the same problem as you Matthew. Unfortunately, there is no other way of contacting these people without knowing their contact details (such as address & phone number) :-(

Hi there, i was wondering if there was anyone who knows how to contact relatives other than message. I have found my Birth Sisters which i am 100% certain that it is them and have tried messaging but it's been 7 months and ive had no reply. I would like to contact them as i've never met them.
