Title: 1939 national register
Post by: sylvia on Monday 25 October 21 00:54 BST (UK)
Hello folks, long time no see.
 I was wondering if its possible to search the 1939 National Register
I am trying to find Edward Churchill born 1910 and Alice Churchill .Marion J Churchill would also be there age 6.They lived on the Cannock Road,Staffordshire, England in 1939.Edward would be 29 Alice 28 Marion 6.Thanks.

Also Ernest Edwards born 1917 wolverhampton Staffordshire.His wife Kathleen born Bilston,Staffordshire, others family member, John Cook, Leo Cook, Benjamin Cook. I believe they lived in Prestwood Road, Wolverhampton ,Staffordshire. It was a large house, I think an old farmhouse ,there was a few other family members living there .
  I know you will do your best as you always do . Thanks in advance for trying.  sylvia C.

I think I'm correct in saying lookups in the 1939 are not allowed here on Rootschat.
No doubt the moderator will make a comment.

Members of the Armed Forces don't usually appear.

The original purpose of the Register was for ID cards, and then Ration Books.
Members of the Armed Forces had their own system of ID Cards.

I believe that is still the policy for the 1939 Register and the 1911* census.

* links to the free  Familyseach version are OK

If you are registered with f.m.p you can do a free search, and discover much from the indexed results!
i.e.
Ernest Edwards, born 1917, living at 342 Prestwood Road, Wolverhampton C.B.

Sadly we don't get a preview any more, but we can put the name Ernest Edwards in as "Other household member" and Prestwood Road as the street.
Which brings up three other names living at 342 (according to the transcript)
Kathleen Edwards, born 1915
Benjamin Cook, born 1875
John Cook, born 1921

As explained, we are not allowed on Rootschat to do lookups from the actual images.
