Preview search tips for the 1939 Register before you buy

You now only get the reference number after you have paid to view the image.

Are you a yearly subscriber?  If so images will be included in your subscription after 16th February, only one catch you need to click auto renew on your subscription, although the e mail I had tells me  that my subscription has been frozen and I also have a 10% discount on my next sub.  I will pay £89.55 as opposed to all new subscribers who will have to pay the new sub of £119.95.
I guess someone has to pay to cover the costs which have not been met via pay per view...

Anyone using the monthly or six monthly subscription option won't get the 1939 Register

Thanks Suey, for explaining that, hopefully it will be on the library edition a bit later.

Unless you're searching for people with very common names, you can enter the location and name of person in the same household, and by process of elimination you should be able to work out who's living in the same house. Same thing works on 1841-1911 censuses.

Without reading all 16 pages of this thread are the search tips all still valid? 

I never had any compelling need to search this register especially at that high price but now its going to be available as part of a subscription I would like to look out of curiosity.  I can see both sets of my grandparents but no children as they are all locked as some are still alive and I don't have death certificates for those who have died.

If you're going to qualify for the 1939 being inclusive in your package, you're not going to need most of the tips - they were mainly used to pinpoint records and their associated household without being forced to unlock the wrong record. With the lookups being included you can click and look at them at you heart's content, as many as you like

You still won't be unable to unlock the unopened records though without going through the proper process and I don't think there were any tips around that

Thank you Stevie, the light bulb just came on duh!!!

Even with free access for annual subscribers in a few weeks time, the tips on this thread will certainly save time in locating the right record. And trying different ways to search if a record appears to missing at first.

I just couldn't work out who "1 more person are on this record" was.

I tried searching for possible surnames with no luck.

So I searched on the STREET, the person I knew was there in OTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER and entered the BIRTH YEAR as 1900 -/+ 40yrs.  Lo and behold all members of the household appear, without even hitting preview

I was trying to find Mother in law with no luck ....so I tried father in law and then found reason I couldn't find MinL  the black redacting line they put through child was crooked and her name was covered!!  so try different members if one is missing never know what you will find!
