Anyone know how to find someone please?

Hi,
I am trying to help my friend who lost touch with her parents approx thirty years ago. My friend has learning difficulties, is classed as a vulnerable adult and there's a huge backstory which I won't go into as it's her story. But, we know her parent's names, birth dates and area last known. My friend feels she needs some closure, does anyone have any idea where we should start? I've tried googling to no avail.
Many thanks.

Have you tried 192.com. They have the electoral register etc. You may have to pay for this though.

Have you looked at birth/death/marriage registration in the area she thinks they live in?

Im sure Salvation Army help reconnect people too.

There may be a huge backstory that you're unaware of, and the parents may not want to.be in contact. If you find them, your friend might experience rejection which will be very painful.

Thank you all,

@2dogsandabudgie , I hadn't thought of that though she thinks they're in a care home but I'll try anyway.

@Bubblybooboo , I will look into that.

@EmmaGrundyForPM , there is a huge backstory and we've had a long chat about that, my friend is aware that her parents may not still be alive and/or they may reject her. She's not expecting a 'Long lost family' style reunion thankfully.

The Salvation Army can help to trace people.

There's also pages on fb that can help you reunite people or she could post on fb page for the area and see if anyone knows of them.

Do you know whether there are other family members? I'm wondering if there are aunts or uncles on either side of the family that you could also search for?
