Hi
We've just got the school records from someone who was sent to live with their grandparents in the country when he was a few months old in 1939 and started school there. It's on the evacuees class attendance register for the school. He started there in September 1944 and left in July 1945.
The question I have is, whereas the other evacuee children are recorded as "left" when they leave, he is recorded as "transferred."
It is a little Welsh school and on other earlier records I've seen from the same school - from the 1920's when doing other family research - "transferred" means transferring to another local school in the area. Often a C of E school. Would it mean the same in connection with evacuees?
Also, is it possible to get WW2 registration details for someone born in 1940 if you know their date and place of birth, parents etc? I know you can get copies of people's details - date of birth, address and so on - from the Sept 1939 register that was compiled then and since rationing continued for some years after the war, I wondered if the details of children born during the war could be applied for as well?
Sorry for my awful ignorance. I'm still very new at all this.
Thanks!
