Hi all
As I mentioned on the main 1939 register thread, I'm unable to find my great grand father and his family on the 1939 register - thank you Val for suggesting I start this thread.
His date of birth (and therefore birth certificate) is a mystery to me and has been for a number of years so I was hoping that the register may help to narrow this down (previous thread: http://www.familytreeforum.com/archi...p/t-97937.html )
Please don't anyone use any credits opening households - I'm just looking for some possibilities for the family before I go blowing my birthday money on credits!
This is all that I know about the family:
Alexander Lowther (great grandfather):
Ruth Annie Elliot (great grandmother):
Alexander and Ruth had two children - Alexander (b 1926 d 2013) who was born in Hazelrigg, Northumberland, and a girl (b 1927 d - could possibly be alive still) born in Castle Ward district, Northumberland
Alexander's parents were originally from Cumberland, but had moved to Northumberland during the 1900's before moving to Durham; whilst Ruth's parents were originally from Northumberland. The family were very much based in Northumberland by the 1940's and 1950's so I would expect to find them here in 1939 (but have also looked at both Cumberland and Durham)
Any suggestions for possible households to check out?
Many thanks in advance
