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?

Yes although Parliament was assured the 1939 Register was not being used after 1951 when the 1939 Registration Act was repealed the 1939 Register was used until 1981.

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.

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

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.
I've just had an email from FindMyPast to say that unlimited access to the 1939 Register will be included in my World FMP Subscription from the 16th Feb , very good news !
