The Common Room / Re: 1939 Register update codes - Nr230 what does it mean? Name change by deed poll?
« on: Sunday 24 March 19 21:15 GMT (UK)  »
My further thoughts on this are as follows and they are only opinions:-
The 1939 Register was only intended as a register of the population (not in the armed forces) at the end of September 1939
It was updated with information from marriages and deaths for how long and how accurately I do not know
A major later function was to provide a reference for NHS registration for the new GP services introduced from 1948 onwards
Amendments were generated by the population registering with GPs
Searching on Google for Nr230 suggests that the National Archives produced a circular with this reference in 1946 which will not be publicised until 2021
Nr230 entries appear to refer to name changes without marriage, some are supported by Gazette entries, but most are not
They are overwhelmingly individuals changing from foreign sounding to British names and this was probably allowed without question under the provision of this circular Nr230
There would have been many
Others who claimed to have a changed name at NHS registration may have just been coded Nr230 to avoid complicated investigation
The name Nunn in the previous post could have slipped through

Just my ideas

Dear Stan
I still have not nailed this down
The person Lily Staff (nee Timcke) changed to Lilian Wilkinson
The entry is dated 1950 with a Billericay code and NR230

I still think this is deed poll
I cant find a London Gazette entry
Perhaps the Gazette did not bother with women?

Thanks again, you got me on the way with Weinberg

Really helpful - thanks

I managed to look up Hyman Weinberg who changed his name to Wynne on 31.8.1945
1939 Register entered it as Wayne - the entry was dated 1947 so that answers the other question, there is often a delay of several years before the Register is updated - it is not the date of the event

Looking at a woman in the 1939 Register - they have been updated on 6.3.1950 with a name change
The entry is coded NR 230 DBD (possibly 250). DBD is Billericay
Other entries with name change by marriage do not have NR 230 but have a M instead
I can find no marriage for this person to account for the name change

Interestingly higher up the same page Mr and Mrs Weinberg have both their names changed to Wayne and they are coded NR 230

Can anyone confirm NR 230 is name change by deed poll?
