192.com People Search - Feb 3, 2010
192.com

192.com is the largest people search tool in the UK with over 600 million residential names from current and historical Electoral Rolls, Directory Enquiries, and Birth, Marriage & Death records.

How our People Search Works

Because every search you do on 192.com checks the Electoral Roll and Directory Enquiries at the same time, we cover more of the UK population and allow you to search in a much smarter way.

192.com's People Search gives you the flexibility to search across the entire UK even when you don’t know the location of the person you’re searching for. You can also choose to refine your search by location, forename or middle initial. With 192.com’s Advanced People Search tool you can even search by the names of other people that are likely to be living at the same address as the person you’re looking for, such as their husband or wife.

    The new 2008 version of the database is overflowing with images , Google Maps, Biographies of the Rich, Famous, Royals going back centuries and from all over the World.
