I got that message earlier but obviously cleared now because I read your post!

The Common Room / Re: 1939 Register Note

Suggest it may be the date of the amendment.
I just checked my mother's entry. She was single in 1939, but her married name has been recorded later, along with the date of the marriage.

I have 16 generations. No-one famous, but pretty sure it's accurate.

There appears to be a blocked out window.
Window tax was introduced in England and Wales in 1696. It was repealed in 1851. Suggests the building was built before 1851.

I have always been known by my second name. One exception that I remember was my first manager when I started work. Someone kindly pointed out his error - I would have never dared to say anything!
Like Gillg, I warned the hospital when I went in for surgery some years ago to use my second name. These days I have so many appointments, that I am getting quite used to being called by my first name by those who do not know me.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Mishal Husain programme. What a variety of experiences!
