Just downloaded my first record!

Can anyone tell me what the last column is for? Its headed 'see INSTRUCTIONS' and seems to have been cut off in its prime! All I can see in that column for my grandmother is 'PWC [I think its a P] D66/12916' and then its cut off! Should I be looking for any significance to this reference?
HELP!!!

The last column as you call it is the first column of the righthand page. The right hand page contains the private medical data that we are not allowed to see.
In a similar way just how much of that first column is left open depends on what it shows.
It often contains information such as wartime posts i.e. ARP, assistant nurse in a civil nursing... already called up but noted. Received ARP training etc.

Cheers

Thanks, Guy.

I wonder if that means, should I ever locate my paternal grandfather on this register, it might finally tell me what he did in WW1?

Sorry - another query, if anyone knows the answer. Otherwise I'll email FindMyPast but I rather think they've taken their ball home!!

Are hospitals and other 'institutions' included on the register? Presumably the inmates would also have needed ration books etc!

jillruss - I think your query is answered on one of the many other threads related to 1939 - and the answer appears to be "yes" hospitals (possibly long-term) and other institutions are included.

Re your post related to your grandfather - not sure that the 1939 Register would help with what he did in WW1  :-\  Or did you mean WW2?  ;D
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Thanks.

No, I meant WW1 - he was born 1890. I thought perhaps historical military service might be included in that column but - now you point it out - why would it be?  :-[

How many Merchant seamen were there in 1939?
Most of them (if they were not home on leave) would not have been listed at their home address
