Missing Information 1939 data

[Watermelon]

Hi

I typed in the address that I know my family were living in 1939 and their street number 46 was missing?  Does anyone know if that is because a lot of information is missing as standard?

Thanks all

I typed in my Grandfather name,  I know where they lived and he was under a wrong surname 
Funny his wife had the right surname? Doesn't look good.

hello I did a name search and found my family at a different address in Wembley.  However, they still didn't have 46 which was standing as a house at that time

if there was no-one at a particular address on Registration Night it won't appear in the register at all. It is also possible that the only inhabitants were under 24, and not recorded as deceased, in which case their records would be closed, including the address. I was looking at some of the addresses where I have lived, and this is the case with two of them. The records for the .houses on either side are visible

thanks I will, I also need to update their records as it seems a lot of the records are closed assuming people are still alive, I have four closed records and I know that only one person is still with us

As long as you have their death certs you can apply to have those records opened.
I did for both my dad who died in 1970 (and I thought should have had his records opened already) and my mum who died in 2009.

It was very simple to click on the file in the document file on my computer and forward both certs.
They then email you and say they will look into it,but it may take up to 10 days.

Pedantic, I know, but the address itself isn't closed, just the details of the people there.
If you find the preview of a neighbour, then amend the number at the end of the web address (i.e. change 20 to 19 or 21) to work your way along the street, you will see the record appear, but with just dashes rather than the details. Also the top will just say "Household" rather than (for instance) "Smith Household". You can then see how many people are in that household.
As for a missing address in searches, if you look at the JPG that Guy put on the main thread, you will see that the address is in the first column and is only shown on the record for the head of household. If that person is redacted, the redaction INCLUDES the address column, meaning that the address as well as all subsequent details are witheld. So even if other householders ARE visible, the address will not appear in address searches.

My Gran comes up on the search, but grandad Percy is listed as Mercy.
There are 2 more people on the record and 4 hidden. The four hidden will be my ma and her sibs.
 But - and here is the query- my Aunt who was born 1928 and married 1950, is there under her married name with her maiden name in brackets and her birth year as 1928.
Can someone shine a light for me please, I know- just bite the bullet and pay for it 

Also if someone comes up and no other details are listed, does this mean they were sole occupier?
