Hi Elle I managed to get the phone numbers of 8 people with the same name as the person I was searching for and set about calling then 1 by 1 from the UK. I struck gold on my second call although the young lad who answered thought I had lost all of my marbles (I have no doubt he was searching around the room for the hidden candid camera). An alternative is searching Facebook if you have a facebook account. Again I struck lucky there I have also googled many a person with an area and had some measure of success.
