1939 Register up and running (Part 2)

[groom]

I emailed them about a missing stretch of road as well on Monday, but haven't had a reply or acknowledgement yet, wonder just how much is missing?

Had same response as ShaunJ about half an hour ago. Also to email I sent Monday re 1939 register,

Update,
just got the response to my message, they must have a huge backlog.

A further instalment:

"Thank you for your email.

I am sorry to hear that you have been unable to find the record you are looking for.

There can be various reasons why a record cannot be found online - not recorded as expected, indexing, different area, criteria entered etc.

To allow us to assist further are you able to confirm which records you have been searching for Caithness Drive?

Many thanks in advance of your co-operation."

Have replied that it's the 1939 Register...

[groom]

It will be interesting if I get a similar reply as I gave them all the details in my original email  - name, DOB, address and neighbour's names (they are also missing).

This is the leaflet produced at the time

That's really interesting, thanks Stan.

I had no idea that it was the enumerators who wrote out the identity cards at the time of collecting the schedules.
I still have my mum's identity card (CCWQ 235 3), with lots of pasted in slips of paper reflecting changes of address (though interestingly none of the address slips show the address to which she was evacuated - all the addresses are in the East End).

I'm loath to start yet another thread on the 1939 Register; apologies for tacking this on the end of this one  (*). Does anyone know the answers to these questions about column 11 of the register - the first column on the second page?

1. What is on the rest of the second page of the original 2-page spread beyond column 11 of each page of the register - why wasn't the whole of the second page scanned?

2. Related - why is column 11 cropped / cut off so short on the right-hand edge of the page image? Three of the five registers I've unlocked have the end of the writing cut off and the already opaque military service reference is partly unreadable

3. I have a couple of entries where column 11 has either a reference to a page ("See page 16" - unless I'm being thick the page images aren't visibly numbered) or "Re-regd" followed by several letters, a number and a date - again cut off short on the right-hand edge. Does anyone know if it's possible to follow up these references?
(edit - answered my own question there. The remote page reference was visible on another page.)

4. Has anyone - such as Findmypast - produced an idiot's guide to the military service jargon we're likely to encounter in that column?

5 (edit - added). One out of the five records I've unlocked consists of three pages. The other four are only one page each. Why's that then?
(edit - answered my own question there. The extra pages were to include the remote page reference.)

I've found the answers to some more of my questions here:

"The right hand page of the Register which we haven't digitised or indexed contains sensitive medical information that we're forbidden from publishing online. If the medical information of an individual stretched over two lines on the right, that person was duplicated on the left. If you see your relative on two lines with identical information, this is why.

"If a note exists on an individual's record that refers to another page, click the arrow on the right to be taken to that page in the image."

https://blog.findmypast.co.uk/watch-1436591498.html

Presumably the right-hand edge of column 11 has been cropped hard so that there is no chance of inadvertantly publishing any of the sensitive medical info.

And I'm guessing that my person was entered twice with identical name, address, d/o/b and occupation in order to record a change to his (now redacted) medical details.

I'd still like to try and work out how to decipher this reference in column 11 for another individual:  "22.10.4? / re regd YEHA - 274673[8?] / CA"

And I still need to bone up on some military acronyms!

I managed to find my great grandfathers second wife in Shildon, with his son Roy, mistranscribed as Murgrave. Still no George, I did hear from his younger daughter (redacted in the 1939 register) that he was another volunteer for war, yet he was 48 in 1939. At least I know he was probably away from home at the time.

I'm sure this has already been answered, but my senior brain is having trouble keeping up with all these helpful 1939 threads!

I've found most of my relatives on the free search - I've very few in the U.K. anyway.

There are 2/3 missing who really should be there - all men in their 20s or 30s, so possibly already involved in the army etc.
Are military people to be found somewhere?

So glad to see an active forum on this topic.  I have emailed Find My Past with a question but await an answer.

I had such high hopes to answer some questions - but to no avail. I have my grandfather and his German wife, both born before 1914, yet they don't appear on the register.  They had three children at that time, so I find it odd they risked not having a ration card.

Would family of registered aliens (if indeed she was registered) appear on a different list?

Names are George Henry Moore & Senta Moore expected to find them in either Kingston upon Hull or Ripon or Harrogate.

(For those who have found bits of streets missing:  I have found that if you use the references for those bit of the streets that do appear, and just search on the reference, you will found how parts of streets are often indexed differently)
