Finding Hubbies Friend
 
Hiya All,

I am trying to find hubbies friend, who lives in Wungong, Perth, have tried white pages, had no joy.

His name is Shaun Bradshaw who was a sheet metal worker and used to live in Pudsey, Leeds he also married a girl called Michelle from Pudsey, Leeds. He moved to Perth when he was 13 then came back to Pudsey, Leeds when he was 26.

We are not sure if he is still living in Wungong, but believe his parents also live there too.

Any advice from you guys as to how to find him or maybe you know him would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Shaz n Phil :)

Have you tried looking on Friends Reunited? Might be worth posting something on there even if you can't find him registered someone else who went to the same school or something might know of his current whereabouts.

Hi

Have you looked on white pages? www.whitepages.com.au??? I just did a quick search on residential and put in the whole of WA, there aren't that many to troll through and many of them aren't in the Perth region which brings the search down further. Also if he has a middle name that might help.

My husband lost touch with his friend about 12 years ago. He knew he'd emigrated to Australia (married an Ozzie girl) but didn't know where. He kept doing searches on the internet, just on his name. One day his name appeared linked to a university in Perth. My husband e-mail the university to check it was the right person and asked if they could forward our telephone number to him. That was about 4.5 years ago. After making contact we came over to visit, loved the place and decided to emigrate!!! We don't live in Perth due to the visa we were eligible for, it's a regional one. But we do see lots of them and holiday with them.

Good luck!! Sandra

Have you tried putting his name in google? It's a long shot, I came up with 385 results for his full name...

OT: It's great fun finding out who shares your name this way.

Shaz,

you could try something like http://www.zoominfo.com/ which is a search engine used for tracing people or company names. Other than that, try and see if there are any open web sites in WA such as voters register of register of births/deaths/marriages. This link might help,

http://www.searchsystems.net/list.php?nid=387

otherwise narrow you search on Google by putting the full name into "quotation" marks.

Hope this helps.

Derek

Don't think it works now, but there was a time when the top five results on google uk for "lettice" all linked to Expats, and three of them specifically to me :)
