He was on the electoral roll in Hounslow to 2003, but a different family took over from him.
As the property is last listed on Zoopla as being sold in 1999, it does suggest that it is or was a rental property.
More recently, it was previously listed on Rightmove on January 2008. The accompanying photos suggest that it was vacant at that time.

Since 2002 its been possible to opt out of the commercial ER. Its possible that is what he has chosen to do.

There's a dormant facebook account with the same name? Looks the right sort of age

Welcome to genesreunited, Sascha.

If you try here:
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/

there is a Gerald F Gross born 1956 at Wycombe, and then 2 born in 1960 (Chippenham and Hatfield)

Added:
Thought you just had Gerry Gross - as is Gerald Francis then the 1956 birth.

Registered 1956, could have been born end of 1955, he has his tree on here.

Try and contact him through genes?

He seems to have a brother Vincent P Gross, born 1954. Although he married in 1976, he doesn't appear on any ER, not even for 2002

Mother on ER until fairly recently?

The one in Scotland? That went through my mind as well.
There's no death reg on Scotlandspeople either under Peggy or Margaret 2012-2016, so may be she's in residential care or died in 2017?

According to a tree on Ancestry, the brother Vincent died in South Korea in 2006. (And had 2 children) Worth contacting the tree owner?

been given some more information lived at 300 ellerdine road in late 1980s. The search continues :-) does anyone know when someone sends a message on here do they get a notification through email?

Sascha, yes if the person you have messaged has kept the same email address they will receive an email notification of the message. However if they have changed email address and not notified GR, or it is has gone to their spam box, the email may not reach them. To see if your sent message has been opened go to it on 'sent messages' and check if the envelope is still showing next to it. if it is it means the message has not yet been opened.

sascha Report 29 Aug 2017 14:27

Theres still a green envelope there. So that means not read yet thank you for that. Is there any way to know when last active knowing my luck they not been on for years. Sash :-)

Rambling Report 29 Aug 2017 15:52

No unfortunately unless they have posted there's no sure way of knowing if they are still active here. You may be able to work out how long ago they joined from the membership number, for instance mine is 4556520 and I joined 2006.

Update. Found a diary and its spelt jerry not gerry. Could it be short for jeremy ?? And a possible birthday being 26th november. Again still around 1955 the year of birth. Also found another address that he lived in although next to it it says moved. Ive spent so long thinking it was gerald francis gross that now that it doesnt look like it i feel like im right back at beginning again..... if anyone knows anything or knows someone that may please send them my way

Still think it's the Gerald reg 1st qtr 1956

There's no birth for a J Francis gross

patchem Report 16 Oct 2017 07:01

Jerry is used as an abbreviation for Gerald, so still believe we have the correct birth.

Try facebook and linked-in under that spelling?

Added:
On LinkedIn there is a Jerry Gross (with picture) living in Slough who went to Spring Grove Grammar School (as it then was) which is in Hounslow.
