  • 1939 look up please

    I am currently using MyHeritage which does have the 1939 but only transcripts, not images. Would some kind person who does have images check the birth year for the following. MyH have it as 1907 but I suspect it should be 1901.

    Yes it is 1901. The enumerator has not lifted his pen properly and the two digits are joined at the top but they are 0 and 1. The last bit in the screenshot shows the down stroke of his 7s are bendy not straight.

        Thanks so much for the lightning response. 1901 makes much more sense.

        Here's another one. If the dates are right she got married aged 14! I think year of birth should be 1873.

          It's definitely 83.

            Thanks. Maybe it's the wrong Linda M Wynn. Back to the drawing board.

            There's Linda Mary Wynn but she died in 1922. Cant see any others. No marriage of a Linda M to a Wynn between 1900 and 1939.

            The more I look at it the more I think she wrote 1883 by mistake

              And yet another! I would not have subscribed to MyH if I had known that there were no images for 1939.
              Denis is said to be single but his daughter is sure he was married. His wife had given birth to a daughter shortly before and it is possible that she and the baby and possibly a toddler son were in some sort of hospitalisation. Were hospitals included? Does the original image show "S"?

                Image shows S lightly scored through and M written next to it at some point in time

                  Great. Obviously some official also decided that it was such an obvious error that it should be corrected - probably when it was being used by the NHS.

                      Thanks Vera, that certainly looks like them. Two strange things though. Firstly if it is the right family then Patricia was certainly alive when I had dinner with her last Sunday. Secondly I cannot find this family using MyHeritage, using all the tricks in the book.

                        Well firstly I' m so pleased to hear that Patricia is alive and enjoying Sunday dinner. However, as you have all the details, I will ask a Moderator to remove my post

                        I have come across this before with a sister of my friend who I knew to be very much alive.

                        The image is very poor and not sure how it was able to be transcribed. Loathe to say how it can be found elsewhere. If you want a copy of image let me have your email address.
