There wasn't a census in 1939. 
It was the 1939 National Register - initially used to give everyone an Identity Card, and then Ration Books.
Later used by the NHS as their Central Register, and updated by them into the 1990s.

A census was a snapshot of who was where at midnight on a specified date.

Thank you for the information.The person who I am looking for now is Alfreds daughter Dora Gertrude May Chivers/Jackson.Her husband was on the 1939 register with Alfred,but she was missing with their 2 children,Newby b.1934 and Andrew b.1934.Now that I know it was a register and not a census,I wonder if they were sent away to a safer place?I had thought that the Name Newby would be unusual so easy to trace,thank you for your time,Tom

Have you tried using Dora’s dob 2 5 1896 as per her death in 1982?

Do you know the dob of the sons? It might be that their names are redacted

[Ladyhawk]

Do you know if the two children you have named have died, if not you should modify your post to remove their names.

I can’t see a birth entry for the second name you give on FreeBMD 

There are two Jackson mmn Chivers birth entries in Hartlepool 1934 & 1936.

GRO indexes give the middle name Mclean for birth in 1934

Edit to add

a possible death Sept qtr Hartlepool 1936 for birth Jun qtr Hartlepool 1936
