After a family rift (very sad), I desperately want to be able to speak to/meet up with my uncle who DH last spoke to in January this year. Uncle last known to be living in the Var area, France.
We tried phoning today - number goes to a voicemail which doesn't allow a message (and clearly not uncle's). Address comes up as a holiday let through booking.com but no contact information.
He lived with my aunt and we can't trace her, either. They had been involved in ex-pat activities but there, too, we're drawn a blank.
If I have to face the possiblity that he's died this year, does anyone know how I might find out? Or if he's in a residential home or hospital? There's no other family member whom I could ask.
French White Pages is still showing his old number and address and our email to him hasn't bounced but clearly he's not there. This is difficult but I so want to do something to heal an old rift before he dies (if he is alive, he'll be very old) or to pay my respects if he has. It's unlikely that he moved back to the UK because he is largely French and his wife is unlikely to have done so either. They'd been in France for many years.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
