A well researched fraudster might possibly be able to know that old address however if faced with the question ' what area of Bolton did you live in' would probably not be able to answer.
They might also have access to marriage certificates that show your fathers occupation. If he was a Electrician they could ask did you ever consider becoming a Doctor like your father? A non fraudulent applicant would answer, I think you have it wrong my father was/ is an electrician. A fraudulent applicant might be caught out there.
Simple questions that will easily identify a few fraudsters though I doubt it will be in this type of format.

That assumes that the interviewers will have plenty of time to research backgrounds and come up with things like area names but the numbers in the document above don't work out that way. Even if you include all of the managers as well as the interviewers and assume that they all work a full 35 hour week (even though it says that most positions are actually part time) 52 weeks a year (although obviously it won't be with sick/holiday/parental leave and training etc) and they all do nothing other than these interviews then they get about 10mins to research and do the paperwork for each case. They're not going to be able to dig up much of use at all in that time and really, by the time you factor the other things in it looks like they'll struggle to fit in all of the interviews, let alone any research.
