Sally! Listen now -- I didn't find *any* address because I don't pay to access the site! I don't know what "151" is. If you want to send me a message privately (click on my name) to tell me what Jean gave you or what you have, I'll be happy to look at it, but if Jean gave it to you, it must be solid!

Okay, I remember the name of the street, so if I tell 192.com to look for that ... yes I can see now what Jean got you for Ann O'M. (I don't know what "151" is still!)

This time she has a middle initial. She and Leslie were together sometime 2002-2008, and she was alone sometime in that period and now. You can't be sure it's her. Unless you contact her. It seems very very likely it's her.

Ah, well that has to be the right one that Jean gave you.

There could be bad news, I've wondered about all along. Your dad could have died between the time of that electoral roll listing and now. Since the deaths index only goes to 2005, we wouldn't know if that were the case.

I would definitely get in touch with her using Jean's directions, and cross your fingers tight.

Sally -- I couldn't see the address at all, because I don't pay there.

That isn't what the address would have been for the listing I saw though, because it doesn't match up with the number of Xs in the address::

XXXX X XXX XXXXXX XXXXX
LONDON XX XXX

But -- Jean may have got a more recent listing. As long as it's for the two names together, then it seems it has to be them.

We don't post people's addresses here now, you know! (Imagine if someone put your address on the internet, somewhere you didn't even know.) You should delete that address from your post (just use the Edit link in the bottom corner).

I can't match the names to that post code on the electoral list or at BT on line, but I'm sure that if Jean knew what you were after, that's what she gave you!

Fairthorn is a person! (I've never been quite sure whether a male person or a female person -- maybe s/he will tell us on return.)

Several of us do make a point of letting others know when there are duplicate threads about, because they make us extremely irritable when we spend time doing the same thing other people have done.

You send a message to Jean in the morning and then keep us posted.

Okay, I went to 192.com in a different browser where it doesn't recognize me. ;)

The one in Colchester is the one residing with Dilys Patten.

It sounds like you think the other one is your Leslie.

You still have the message from Jean -- reply to it and ask her for the new look-up. Jean's a doll and will be happy to.

Also give her directions to this thread -- copy this into your message:

Well, I'm cooked. 192.com only lets you twiddle for a certain number of searches without paying, and then it cuts you off for the day.


Meanwhile -- edit your subject line to read "electoral roll look-up please" instead of what it says now.

You want a look-up for:

LESLIE JESSUP
XXXX X XXX XXXXXX XXXXX
LONDON XX XXX
other occupants ANN O'MAHONEY


and I will delete this personal info once it has served its purpose.

Very best of luck.

Okay, they're in London -- if you guess the right place when you search 192.com, it shows you the bit you guessed.

But it didn't produce a telephone listing. Let me try BT on line.

Okay, no telephone listing. But from what you say, it may be in another name. I tried her name, and there is a listing for an "A" but the postal code doesn't match the electoral roll listing (i.e. I guessed wrong).

Let me twiddle a bit more.

evie a lady caled jean sent me a message with a address for colchester in the 2008 electoral roll what do you think sally

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 11 Mar 2009 02:59

I should have stopped while I was ahead! I've been on the trail of Dilys Patten ...

Okay, let's see whether we can figure out where Leslie and Ann are. I may be able to trick 192.com into giving up its secrets.

There is a (male) Jessup-Omahony birth in 1996, apparently the same birth reregistered in 1999.

... no, that would belong to a couple who married in 1999, not Leslie Jessup.

Oddly, searching for Ann O'Mahoney on the electoral roll doesn't come up with the Leslie Jessup household.

Okay, here's another odd one. A Leslie Jessup married a Dilys Patten in 1985 in Colchester. On the 2002-2008 electoral roll, they are together, but she is Dilys Patten -- odd for a woman who is 65+!

There are four other people with them, with three surnames other than Patten and Jessup. (I've discovered that sometimes people at the same address are shown as in the same household when they aren't, though.)

That's another listing you might like details on.

You know, you can search at www.192.com yourself! And buy credits to see details of any listings you think are worth pursuing.
