1939 Register up and running

[groom]

If you've unlocked the image, doesn't it tell you on the transcription above the household names, the one I opened did?

I am about to submit a FindMyPast Evidence of Death Form to have a deceased person unredacted, but am stuck on the question Street name *. On the image of the household the address is 85 ditto, with dittos all the way down the page. I don't know the street/road in which they lived. Any ideas?

Can you get up the page before or after?

All of mine have had the street name in the indexes before I clicked on the actual image.

Ok, found it, in the obvious place in the header of the transcription. Thanks.

I missed that on the first one I unlocked as well.

If some people are not redacted when it should be then a bonus. Until I read the 1991 cut off I always thought all dead people would appear in the 1939 register, as they are now deceased, esp if they kept track of the people after 1939. Then I learned anyone born on 1 Jan 1916 or after and died after 1991 will be redacted unless you fork out for a death cert.

Is it possible to view the address having found the person (without unlocking the record)? Several people ive found may need following up on electoral rolls so it would help to know where they were living.

Thanks for the search tips on here, really helpful.

I can't make this work either...  "Just hover over the free preview button and the full reference should be displayed at the bottom left of the screen"

Talk about an expensive resource.  Nearly all my family appear to be redacted, combined common names so even a preview can't always clarify if you've found the right record. 

looks like I'll just have to wait a couple of decades until others have unredacted the records and the novelty factor has worn off so it's just incorporated into a normal subscription.

I noted down the ref number for the address my gran was at in 1939, and then typed in names of streets in the area of Southend into the FindMyPast address search, while looking at street names on  Google Maps. I then noticed the area she lived at was further north, and the RG101/1465/ had the same ref as South Street. I knew from the name result it was the Kiernan household, and I then looked through each house number in FindMyPast to see which household it was and the Kiernan's were at No 46. May sound gobbledygook but it is a way to try and crack down the address if you dont yet know where in the area they were even if you know the area.

You could try putting exactly what it says, "ditto" or "do", whichever it is. I don't know if that would work but it may mean that it actually goes through, rather than being rejected because you didn't fill in the box.
