Which is the best/cheapest site to try and find someone in the 21st century?

I have the name of the person but am trying to find an up to date address.

192.Com You have to buy credits. Allows you to search free first.

Thanks for that but it seems to be not working tonight - I'll try again tomorrow.

I use Tracesmart http://www.tracesmart.co.uk/
They don't use the credits system but offer a series of 'continuous access periods'. The basic one is a full continuous 24 hours access to the 2001 to 2012 ERs for just £3.50. That means what it says so if you log off the site within the 24 hours you have to stump up again. I have usually found anyone I was looking for within a couple of hours. The site has an 'age decade filter' that allows you to narrow the search field as well as a 'district filter' and the results include other residents in the household of voting age.

One snag with the online ERs is that folk now have to option of 'ticking a box' to be excluded from the commercially available rolls. So you should check the early rolls first.
