Given your original code snippet:
<div id="ftwrap />
<div class="address"/>
<div class="newsletter" />
<p />
<form />
<p />
<ul id="nav_social">
It appears that .address and .newsletter are indeed siblings. So, could you:
.address {margin: 0; /* or whatever you need*/}
.address + .newsletter {margin-top: 14px;}
Instead of trying to add to the bottom of .address, just add to the
top of .newsletter if it follows .address.
Of course, if other elements are possible between them you'd need the
indirect selector. Assuming, of course, I've understood you question
correctly.
