Is there a way to find landline no from address?

I have the residential address but not a full name for the sender of a misdirected personal parcel.

I think they've got the right road for the parcel (ours) and I'm happy to pop it round but don't know what number it should have gone to! It's piddling it down and I don't fancy knocking on at every house (long street!).

Is there a way to find the sender's landline number and check the address? Apparently I can't ring 118 numbers from my mobile and I can't find any methods that work online. I've tried 192 online but it doesn't seem to accept wildcard searches online full names or surnames which I don't have.

I know most have mobiles only (I haven't had a landline in years) but I'm happy to check.

Thanks!

No. You need a name.

Yes, but not for free.
Easier to send a card explaining what's happened through the post to the address you have. With a number for them to ring you on.

It’s a long shot, but you could look for Facebook groups for that area & see if anyone can put you in touch with the person at that address.

Less than half of households have a landline, so I think a postcard or Facebook might be a better bet.

Thanks all. No luck on the phone no front, houses in our street or FB so i have sent a note, it feels like such a nice old fashioned thing to do!
