Dont Cicada`s live underground for many years, and emerge as adults for a very short period of time ? ... |

To the best of my knowledge they are probably extinct; even if not then a notoriously hard insect to track down. |

They've certainly not been seen for a good while - 1997, I believe. As Tristan says, it was very hard to find when it was there, because it was unusually small and quiet for a cicada - you probably wouldn't hear it. It also tended to be found quite high on trees, which made life tricky.
For something so unobtrusive, it's always possible that there are a few left, but given that they've not been found in the one location they were known to inhabit, it's definitely looking a bit bleak. 
Good luck though! |

Ive heard from one new forest resident that there still there, I think its all being kept hush hush to stop to many people visiting and destroying habitat etc |

Also, remember that Tree Crickets also sit in trees and sing and they are easy to find in the New Forest ... but they're not New Forest Cicadas  |

It is spreading through Europe so a possible future colonist.
It's suddenly dawned on me you probably mean the Wood Cricket, Nemobius sylvestris which of course is found in the New Forest. | | | |
