I gather that evacuation had started earlier in September. 

In my case they were living in Honour Oak Park in South London so not considered safe as my father, his brother and mother were at one point all evacuated to Devon before they decided to return.

My gran and parents wouldn't have taken an evacuee as my mum had a shop and the accommodation was behind and above the shop, so it wouldn't have been suitable for a strange child.  Obviously, once I was born, and later my brother, we lived there but growing up there we got used to the set up. 

The redacted name is definitely at the same address as my parents, as the address below gives the name of the two adults who lived next door to us, plus they also had 2 redacted names, but from memory that is correct, it was a butcher and his wife and they had 2 sons, who by the time I was old enough to realise were almost adults, but in 1939 would have been children.  As the page shows quite a few names, it has reminded me of the names of the shopkeepers around our address, some of which I had already remembered and some which were good reminders for me.

ps.  I think you have to know who the redacted person is to get it unlocked.  When I checked for the two redacted people living with my other gran, I had to give names, dob and attach a copy of a death cert to prove they had died, as if alive they would both have been under 100 - just.  I haven't bothered because I can guess who they were.

That is the problem isn't it, if you don't know who the redacted people are, you can't get the records opened! It would be useful if they told you when the records would be opened, eg closed until 2038, then at least you'd know it was a child.

Yes, and it's particularly odd because my mum never said anyone else had lived with them and she would have done as she was always talking about friends and relatives - some very distant - and she never mentioned anyone living with my gran and my parents.   I wonder if it was just a visitor - maybe her brother who was single at the time and born in 1919, he died in 1986 so after the cut off date at the moment.  Hopefully more records will be redacted as soon as they realise the people are deceased.

Don't think anyone will just realise
It's only the likes of you and I who get these opened by sending in death certs.

stonechat - the problem is if you don't know who the redacted person is, you can't send in a death certificate.  In the case of the 2 redacted living with my paternal gran I can make a good guess as to who they are, but the 1 living my with maternal gran and my parents, I have no idea.  They never said anyone used to live with them, so all I can think is that it was a visitor.

It would also be illegal as there is then the possibility you could identify the redacted person.

Are they going to redact the entries as and when the person would be 100?  If not, we will never find out who the people living with our parents were.  If they wait until 2039, I doubt I'll be alive, well I might be I suppose, but I'd be 98.  ::)

I wondered how often they will revisit the register to redact names,they can't be doing them every day can they? Or will it be a weekly or monthly thing?
