  • 1939 register

    I have just been having a quick look at the 1939 register and I found my mother's entry.It gives both her maiden and married names but she did not marry until 1941. Can anyone explain?

    Same with my mother - the register was used after WWII - for NI/NHS purposes, so married names were added at relevant later dates,

      Yes although Parliament was assured the 1939 Register was not being used after 1951 when the 1939 Registration Act was repealed the 1939 Register was used until 1981.

          Guy, it was updated until 1991, wasn't it?

            Oops yes, that'll teach me to do two things at the same time.
            I was also answering questions about my marriage in 1981 to one of my grand children at the same time.

                    Shame on you all laughing at an old man's disability. :(
                    Just you wait until your old and the years pass like weeks and the decades like years.

                    In the meantime I plead insanity.

                      My great aunt remarried in 1951, two years after her first husband died, yet she is on the register in her second name

                      Similarly, both my brother and my uncle should have been closed as they were born in 1929 and 1925 respectively. But they are open to view ........... brother died in 1990 and uncle in 1991

                        It was updated with deaths until 1991 Sylvia, which is why you can see them.

                          Oh, Guy - it made me think of the book, Eats, shoots and leaves which has a totally different meaning if you remove the comma.

                          That's two chuckles today - thanks!

                            There's no shame in it, Guy. It was big in ancient Egypt.

                              I did realise that was the reason, as I knew before I looked how long updating had continued.

                              But a lot of people do / did not realise that.

                                I submitted a death certificate to get a record opened but (so far) although it has opened the person on the image it has not on the transcription. So if you are waiting for a record to be opened do look at the image rather than the transcription. Or maybe both, perhaps they are updated separately.

                                      That's very quick given that they need to recoup their costs. Good news indeed.
