I am trying to find out if an old friend has died. I do not have an email for them but have tried phone and post to no avail. If I google their name I am led to ancestry web sites like ‘Find my past’ which have a reference to the person but then want me to sign up at some cost to get any further information. Has anyone else got any ideas how to proceed? If it’s relevant the person’s address for many years is in Scotland.

I always do with overseas ones, not UK ones. However I think I will from now on as it's a way of possibly finding out if someone has died. I get those labels too and have far too many to ever use. smile
