You have the option of substituted service

if you do not have address you can get the notice published in newspaper at your cost. You can apply to the court accordingly.

I agree with experts, substituted service is the option, if allowed by the Forum.
Meanwhile try to find out and submit present address of OP 3.
The forum can not dismiss your complaint on the basis non-submission of new address.
