Thank you all for your input.  I will try and see if there is somewhere local (Cornwall) that might have the info.

The Common Room / 1939 register
« on: Monday 11 September 17 10:49 BST (UK)  »
Good morning everyone
I was watching "Who do you think you are" and they were looking at the 1939 Register.  I tried looking for my ancestors but came up with 0 people, well I know my Mum was alive then.  Anyone know how I can access the records like she did?  I really don't want to pay another subscription as I already pay for Ancestry.
Many thanks
Brenda

Looking at the marriage dates the 1799 one would be right.

Hi Trish
That's where I have my problem, I am 100% sure which John Henwood is my 3rd great grandfather.  Whichever one it was had a son William about 1801, born Little Petherick. He married Catherine Caddy and they are buried with my great Uncle Thomas Henry Pope possibly in Little Petherick.

Hi Dexter
Many thanks for your reply.  I am building my family tree on Ancestry and without actually looking at the original certificates there is some confusion as to which John Henwood is our "John Henwood".  We have the same problem with William Pope there are several of them as well.  I would just like to clarify if the Elizabeth was Whale or Pascoe.  Do you know if you can access old births, etc. in the Truro register office.  Ia m also a member of Cornwall Family History but they only seem to have baptisms which rarely state the date of birth.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I am related to the Henwoods in Little Petherick although there seems to be a little confusion as to whether my John Henwood which would have been my 3rd Great Grandfather married an Elizabeth Whale or Pascoe.  This seems to be the biggest problem where names are passed down.  My 2nd great grandfather William Henwood 1801- 1876 was married to Catherine Caddy.  So it would be interesting to compare your John Henwood with mine.
All the best

Hi
Elizabeth Whale has caused some brow scratching in my family tree!  One of my ancestors is a John Henwood, born 1776 St Ervan.  According to a distant cousin in Canada she was married to that John Henwood but I think John Henwood was actually married to an Elizabeth Pascoe.  Have you any information as to what children the Elizabeth Whale had so that I can compare.
All the best

Thankyou all for this information.  As my grandmother and our family are Cornish, we have no idea why she was in Kinston.  She may have been in service.  It is such a shame we did not ask questions when my Grandmother and Mother were alive.  But at least I will have some records to pass on to my daughter.
Once again thanks for all your efforts.
