Need help tracking an IP

So i got this mail from someone that i want to track, I looked in the header and found the "X-Originating-Ip". And located it to Oxford, England.. However when i googled the IP (212.183.136.194) There where loads of entries, and it seems to be a shared Ip adress for Vodafone G3 mobile internet users. When i tracked it to Oxford, England. Is this the place where the sender sent the email or is it just where Vodafone has it's servers. Is there anyway i can find out where and wish country this mail has been sent from? Any help Appreciated, or any other ideas on how to trace it.

If you're having spam/hack problems the owner is listed here. As you indicated, this is a Vodafone address. Where it is physically is far more difficult/nearly impossible to tell.

A traceroute to that address has "vhsaccess1-pos7-0.birmingham.fixed.bt.net" as the last named address.

I'd contact Vodafone at the email addresses provided in the whois information.
