Preview search tips for the 1939 Register before you buy

[Carole699]

After waiting a week to get a response from FindMyPast re a missing street & the ref number issue & then having to prompt them for a response...I received the following last night. Oh & they've asked which street too, so it will be interesting to see if they respond to that next.

"With regards to the reference number, we’re continuing to refine several aspects of the Register, and the relocation of The National Archives’ reference numbers is part of that process. The National Archives approved removal of reference numbers from the preview of locked or unlocked records, URLs and search results to ensure protection of Findmypast's intellectual property rights."

Cheers

that's a stock reply and has been used a few times on their FB page.

So wanted to try your tip dawnsh, but it appears FindMyPast have removed the reference numbers.  Would have been such a blessing as our rate of exchange is fiendishly high, it makes purchasing credits well nigh inaccessible.  About R115 for one access - and from what I have been reading things are not very straightforward, one is likely not to find what you are looking for anyway.
Bit off when we subscribe anyway.

Thought they had closed that loophole

Hi Carole699
I am also experiencing delayed responses, eventually (several days) followed by a question to which they should have an answer already.

I feel that I am giving them more information than they are giving me, at a consideral cost.

Looks like they've closed that loophole too

The search form has changed too, so you can't use the "Other Household Member" any more. I've found a way around this, but if I write it here, it'll be gone in days

looks like you now have to unlock and view the record to confirm the errors before you can apply for a correction

and the 'missing' other household member feature is a temporary one, the technical team are working on it!
