Hi I am new to this having been approached by an heir hunter company. I need to find the address of a dead relative from the time of approx 1980 until 1920. I cannot find out how to do this based on the fact that even if I pay the electoral registers only start at 2005. Any help greatly appreciated. Its an uncle who I believed lived in London. Called the office in London who said to find his whereabouts then I would need his address as they can't go by his name only but that's the problem I don't have his address and I am going round in circles. Have ordered the death certificate but I understand the address may be a hospital and not necessarily his home address. I am waiting for it to arrive but just wondering if you professionals know of a way online please and thank you in advance
