Wonder if this will make it any easier for FindMyPast to unredact entries in the 1939 register?

Other evacuated kids maybe. Or kids of the host family possibly.
If there are adults listed at that address too, you may be able to investigate if they had their own kids that may be of an age that they would still be at home and also still being redacted. If not, then probably fellow evacuees.

As he was 14, he would have been born around 1924/1925, he would, by default, be redacted. UNLESS his death was picked up by FindMyPast etc. The latter is more likely as he is male (no name changes) and he died in Southampton (i.e. not overseas).
Is there a redacted person with the parents? (thick black line). If yes, this MIGHT be him and if it is he might become visible in the New Year or 2026. If not, he could well be visible, but just not where you expect - evacuated somewhere safe.

Have you found Edith's (soon to be) new husband in the 1921 census?
Worth a look maybe, in case they were together early somewhere.

Sorry not to have responded to replies sooner, but have been laid low with the "mega cough" that has been doing the rounds.
Thanks to everyone who has replied here (or via PM). I will look closer at PS and Gymp, look at the demos, and see how/if my skills are up to the task.
Many thanks again.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Colourisation of B&W Photos
« on: Friday 16 February 24 17:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I would like to try my hand at colourising my old family photos, which are in black and white.
I have had an initial dabble using a couple of programs I discovered, with mixed results - mainly acceptable, but some less so. These include (as examples) a wedding shot where the bouquet is of red carnations, but which come out black, or a group shot where shadowing on a young lads legs comes out a strange bluish hue.
I was wondering which software the RC experts use, and whether outcomes like the above examples are regular and insurmountable?
Thanks in advance. Any pointers gratefully received.
Regards
ReadyDale

« on: Tuesday 23 January 24 11:32 GMT (UK) »You can apply to have the entry opened.Do you still have to provide certs to FindMyPast as proof?
as far as I know it's free on FindMyPast; applying to TNA or Ancestry you will need to pay a fee.
