In the UK, the Salvation Army I guess. They have a pretty good record in this field of finding people. I still think they charge though, even if it is a nominal fee. Doing this without spending any money at all is asking a lot. An awful lot.
Theres things you can try if you have a name and a rough location. It obviously helps if you have a middle name too, especially for common names like Jones or Smith. The two most usual options are to search either the electoral roll or the phone book, but neither method is foolproof, and both cost money to buy credits, search and view results. Looking in the phone book obviously assumes that (a) he has a landline and (b) he isn't ex-directory. Searching the electoral roll again assumes that (a) he is registered to vote and (b) he hasn't "opted out" of the online roll as if he has you won'tfind him this way either. The odds aren't great. They would perhaps be better if he was a doctor or a solicitor or something as his name or business might crop up in a google search. If you knew for example that "John Smith" was a builder from Leeds, then you might at least have a chance of tracing him through his business address and/or website, assuming he trades under his own name. There are options for sure, but not many of them are free. |
