Smile Looking for old friends

Hello Australia and beyond.............

I'm looking for our firends who moved to Australia, from Cornwall, England, about 8/9 years ago with their 2 teenage children. They originally moved to Adelaide, bought a house by the sea, rented it out and then travelled around Australia for a year.

We would love to catch up with them just to see how they all are and what they are up to now.

Their names are Debbie and Steve Hampton and their children are called Terry and Natalie (although Terry and Natalie may have the surname of Samson). Terry was training as a scuba diver and Steve was a carpenter.

Can anybody help me find them...............please.

Thanks,

Sheryl.

Hello.
Pop to here:

http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/initResSearch.do

Put in Hampton into surname and S into initial and choose South Australia as area.
Then click on 'Search'.

There's a D and S Hampton that's first on the list.
You can also search for the Samson on there too.

Hope that helps.

I've looked, but the initials should be S & D, not DA & AS.

thanks anyway....

Are you doing searches in different areas? Not just SA?
Keep looking... chances are they're there.

The Samson can't be a very common surname, I'm guessing?

Have you thought to try a search on Friends Reunited?

www.friendsreunited.co.uk

You probably know which school the kids went to, so that could be a starting point.

I think there is also a neighbours reunited search you could try which may give you a lead to someone who knows where they are now.

The uk telephone directories may also give you some numbers of relatives if you know which area the relatives lived in - often not far from the person you are trying to trace - just work outwards from where they lived.

Good luck

Good idea. Also, unless you know second names, do consider those which are similar... They might have been using a middle name as a first when you knew them..

Another thought have you tried searching the latest electoral roll?
192.com also searches telephone directories:
