Missing Information 1939 data

[hjstort]

You're going to be stuck, sorry.

Because the information would be closed, without knowing the address they were at when the register was taken, FindMyPast or TNA wouldn't be able to open the record.

I had a feeling that would be the answer - shall have to wait until 2022 to find out who had given her a home.

Thanks again

Many thanks for the reply. Yes my aunt died in the early 80s. But why would her married name show, as she did not marry until 1950. Does that mean someone has added information to her details?

Yes, those details were added up to c.1991 apparently.

I found my paternal grandparents. They were listed in Blackburn, when in fact they were in Blackpool.
Blackpool is on the image, so some careless transcribing!
Also on the image there are some dates in green. I know two are death dates. Unfortunately there is no year visible Good job I have the death certs. so have this info.

There are a few rellies I cannot find, I know their DOB's from birth certs and they died long after 1939. As said, could be gross mistranscribing, or they were abroad or even missed the register for some reason.

I have just posted on another thread that my Gran was transcribed with my Mother's married name, and her second name not her Christian name. I used the TNA numbers as dawnsh suggested, so she wasn't really missing.

I must admit, I am having a hard time trying to understand why a record is redacted. For someone born, say, in 1931 who is still alive or died after 1991, I am not allowed to see the address he/she lived at in 1939, his/her date of birth and his/her occupation.

At the same time, I can easily find that persons birth registration, order a copy of the birth certificate to get date of birth and parents names, I can find and purchase a marriage certificate for that person and get their occupation (albeit a few years later), I can also freely get details of any children they had. I can also probably get their address from electoral registers of the period (not to mention details of other people of voting age at that address).

All the information in this register is available now, so why is it redacted in this one document (to me it also begs the question why is this 1939 data so important?)?
