  • 1939 Register

    Hi all

    Beside the entry for one of my relatives on the 1939 Register, in the "See Instructions" column is written what looks like: "27-5-44" and below that "8e2 (YASA- 1953 3 17) " The first word may not be "8e2", it could be "see" - it's a bit hard to decipher. Would anyone know any more information about this or what it could stand for?

    Many thanks

        The word is See and rest is as you already noted. I have not a clue, sorry, about what YASA etc. means but I would guess the date the register was altered was 27.5.44

          Is this the record of a woman whose surname has been altered to her new married name? It would help if we could see the whole line. I think the letters may be a new NHS number and the date may be the date the register was altered for her change of surname.

          If that is not the case was there some other alteration of the name or surname?

            It reads like a cross-reference to me. If it was a male, could it be to do with a man later entering the military? When the register was compiled, those already in the forces, or called up, were not included. My father is not on the register - he was in the TA and was called up for service the day war was declared, although he didn't go overseas until 1942.

              Thanks all for the replies.

              The entry is for a man, 27 years old when the 1939 Register was taken and not yet in the military. His wife's name is below his on the register, but blacked out (though I'm not sure why since she has now been deceased for 14 years) and their son had already been sent to Gloucestershire to grandparents.

              I think the YASA must then have something to do with a later military reference - though I've checked all the lists of WW2 acronyms I could find and no luck yet. Will have another ponder.

              Once again thanks for the replies - much appreciated as always

                Could 1953317 possibly be a service number for the Royal Engineers? thanks all

                  And would anyone be able to confirm that "Y" was the letter used on governmental records to denote that a soldier had been wounded or was ill?

                  Cheers

                    Where did they live? ASA is the code on the 1939 for St Pancras, London.

                      Hi ozgirl

                      thanks so much for the info.

                      they lived in Brent Street, Hendon in 1939. However, towards the end of the war - by 1944 I think - they moved to Warren Street, St Pancras. So yes, ASA.

                      Cheers
