Search UK-Wide without a Location
With 192.com Electoral Roll searching, you can search for any name UK-wide – that is, you don’t require a location to search. To find a person through Directory Enquiries, you will need to know that person’s location to search.
Search for multiple names per household
Directory Enquiries allows you to search for the bill payer’s name only. So if you are searching for other members in the household, then you’ll only find them with a 192.com Electoral Roll search.
The Directory Enquiries database holds only about 12 million records. Compare that to 27 million names and addresses on the 2007 Electoral Roll – almost three times the coverage!
Search by Forename
In the Directory Enquiries database, only the first initial is recorded. So if you get 3 results for “J Smith”, how will you know which one is your “J Smith”? With 192.com Electoral Roll searching, we give you the full forename and in some cases the middle initial as well.
Search by Middle Initial
In densely populated areas of the UK, you can have numerous people with the same name in the same location. In these instances, searching by middle initial on a 192.com Electoral Roll search is an excellent way of finding the person you’re looking for.
Similarly, if you’re searching UK-wide for an individual, using an Electoral Roll search to refine your results by middle initial is a great way to reduce hundreds of results to only one!
Search by Other Occupants
With 192.com Electoral Roll searching, you can narrow down your search results by the names of other people that live at an address. Or if you cannot find who you’re looking for on the Electoral Roll, you can search by other family members.
Search for People without a Landline
