1939 Register up and running

Not sure if this has been answered anywhere, but when you unlock the record, does it give the name of all in the household but not information on those redacted? Or does it just say "3 more who are officially closed"?

The latter.

So that means I'll never find out who the mysterious person living with them was. It wasn't my cousin who wasn't born until 1943.

Yes I said as much a few posts back, the image is blurry and doesn't load correctly and like you I can't save it as Windows throws up an error.

I have found a way to get the image to save.

Go back to the Findmypage homepage and select the "My Records" option, find your record and select the camera icon as it should now offer to save the image for you, which after it has saved you should now have a good image.

Thanks! A vey useful posting.

groom, I can sympathise as have the same problem with my grandparents.  There is a mystery 3rd person born after 1915 with them.

So to repeat the second part of Groom's question: How do you prove someone is dead if you aren't allowed to know who they are in the first place?!?!?

I got 2 households for the price of one, (on original document)  as my great grandparents lived next door to my grandparents, which was a great bonus!

My great grandparents lived next door to my grandparents so I'm thinking I might get two in one there.

Have a look at http://www.rootschat.com/links/01eoz/ for an example of a "household" page

There a a few redacted on there and also examples of how women's names were changed on marriage (green pencil)

I’m having mixed results with this.

Like others, I am disappointed that more information is not available.

I am looking for my father (b1917, d1993).  I now understand that, because he died after 1991, his record will be closed.

However, he does not come up in the name search and, as I have no idea at all where he was living or who with, I am afraid that I will not be able to find him.

Am I right in assuming this, or is there another way?

anyone finding difficulty loading the original image mine seems to have areas of the image that are blurry and I cannot save the file onto my pc as when I open it its blank also not letting me print the record, what a waste of money if you cant view/save or print it ?

Yes I said as much a few posts back, the image is blurry and doesn't load correctly and like you I can't save it as Windows throws up an error.

I have given up for now.

Hhmmm think I'll wait until the glitches have been sorted out.  I have no urgency anyway.

I think that's due to the volume of people using the site the images take longer to load they are tiles which make up one entire image if the download is fast they appear as an image if it is a bit slow as a blurred image which then comes into focus and if really slow individual tiles appear one at a time.

Seen all since 5 am this morning when it was running like a dream.

If you have proof of his death email Findmypast with a scan of his death certificate. They will then open his record and you will be able to find him and possibly discover who he was living with.

Guy,
Excuse my ignorance, but what does the colume entitled "O, V, S, P or I" indicate?
