We're a little - well, okay, very - concerned that we haven't seen our English neighbour since he went back to England, just before Christmas. The house is all locked up still. He normally gets back here as soon as he can, so a fw of us are getting a bit worried. He's 92, but a very fit 82.

He has a wife in Croydon and although I've tried on-line to get her phone number, I'm not having any luck.

Any ideas please?

Ton, try the British Embassy or Consulate.

Tell them what you have told us and of your concerns, give them as many details as possible. They should be able to check travel records etc.

Do you know of any children or grandchildren at all. If so chances are they'd be on Facebook.......

The local newspaper in croydon might do an appeal or put a advert in their paper

Do you know his address in Croydon? You can access the electoral roll I think

No, don't know their address.

I did find a G J B, which was the name I wanted, but no address. Or I could pay to find the phone number, but they'd only accept English stuff which , I suppose is normal.

I'll try a bit more investigationy stuff from here - contact a few friends here. There is a lady, german, who he sees a lot of over here, but no-one has seen her either.

Perhaps they've run away togther Just thought of that one

Kaz, they've been married for many years, but G is from Trinidad and Bill is from Manchester. I know he has a son, but no idea of his name or where he lives. And i know that Gem has a family, but again, no idea where.

Sorry, that sounds dreadful, doesn't it?

Could one of you access the electoral roll for me?

I can't get on it - probably because I'm here

Gem and Bill's names come up , but I'm buxxerxx if I 'm gong to spend a fortune finding that she's ex-directory or something

Ton, please don't leave out the Embassy/Consulate. They have access to services you cannot use, such as police, border control and hospital records. They exist for these sorts of problems.

No, it doesn't at all! It was a stab in the dark, in case you had any names to go on. I hope he's ok xxxx
