An absolute shot in the dark here - probably futile - but just in case, I am looking for Derek - he was best man at my wedding in 1959 and served in the RAF in Singapore with my late husband. We have always kept in touch but he moved in the last year or so from Knottingley to I think Whitby and he has forgotten to give me his new address - sends me Christmas cards, but I canlt reply!! He was married to Pam, who sadly died and remarried someone called Annie - he has a son Paul and has connections to the yachting fraternity in Yorkshire. I have tried the yachting clubs, his old address to no avail. As I said, probably hopeless but maybe........... :-) |

I have one number to ring found on 192 - no one in at the moment - hardly likely he would be on friends reunited or facebook come to that |

Have you tried a street search for the address you have on Friends Reunited? There might be a neighbour registered who can help you. |
