My mother was the youngest child of a large family, so a lot of my cousins are 20+ years older than me.
The only one I keep in touch with is nearer my age - he's about 8-9 years older than me I think
We only keep in touch via email (I don't have a phone number for him), and even then, it's not too regularly. Every couple of months. I write quite long, chatty emails, he responds with a couple of lines commenting on things I've said in mine, and then updating me with his health problems lol
The last I heard from him was October last year. I know we don't correspond that often, but four months is quite a long time. I have sent him two emails in the past five weeks, the last one to both the email addresses he has used, saying that I was a bit concerned that I'd not heard from him and hoping he was well.
In September last year he told me he was in the process of clearing out his house in preparation for moving out of London. I asked where he was going to, but never got a response.
He always was a bit of an odd-bod, and most of our other cousins avoided him because of this. I always got on ok with him though. The thing that's making me fret a bit though is that I didn't get a Christmas card from him this year. And he has NEVER missed sending me one.
I have become slighly stalker-ish, and have checked the Land Registry and he is still listed as the owner of his house, so clearly hasn't moved yet. (Unless, of course, he is renting the house out and renting somewhere himself.) I have looked on googlemaps - not sure what I was looking for to be honest - but that was last updated in April 2018, so no clues to be had there.
What would you do?
He lives alone, and has some health problems, so I'm now thinking the worst.
What would you do? Is it ridiculous at this stage to contact police, or hospitals? I know he was a patient at St George's in Tooting at one time, so I could start there.
