1939 National Register??

[peterbmillzz]

On the BBC Website this morning.

The findings of a one-off survey of the public from 1939 are about to be released, allowing genealogists to fill a 30-year gap in census records. What will it reveal of a country just beginning to fight a war?

Not much use to me, all my family lived in Scotland in 1939, apart from the gent in my avatar.

Thanks for that rosie99, not had access to a Computer for a while (old one broke ~ no spare £), so there is LOADS I havn't seen.  Lots of catching up to do.

When and where can we see this my mum and dad would be over 100 now so their records should be available?

It'll be on FindMyPast, possibly next month

As Shaun said it will be on FindMyPast, but it isn't very clear whether it will be part of the present subscriptions or will be extra.

From what I understand anyone born after 1915 won't be visible unless you can prove that they have died. So I presume that will mean applying somewhere to get their records opened?
