1939 Register up and running (Part 2)

This has probably been mentioned but when I click on an entry ie "Joe Soap" it says the name of the spouse/significant other etc in the household ie "Margaret Soap is also in this household", then the number of whoever else is there.

That's what I just said!  Very strange as not everyone is getting that.

Well we must make the most of that before FindMyPast rumble us if their bank balance starts slowing down lol.

I seem to be one of the people who are getting a second name on an entry

Selina

I've just discovered that I'm now getting that. I use Chrome and Windows10. What a bonus!

Just downloaded chrome on my iPad but not getting the 2nd name there (nor on Safari) 

There seems to be no consistency,  I AM getting the second name on my  iPad with Safari.

Does anyone know if these second names do indeed appear if you buy the page?

The dreaded Brian Redshaw appears for Selina where I have a blank record, but I note he isn't with his parents and family - The original record I had for him (with family) showed his year of birth as 1888 though he was actually born in 1934. He died in 2009 so his record should be closed in 1939 as he died after the cut off.

Also getting second name with Win 7 and Internet Explorer.

I have bought one record and the second name is there along with the rest of the names on the page (apart from the officially closed of course).  You should see the 'blank' name or something there, possibly unreadable?

Well I am on a normal laptop, a Asus PC and getting the second name entry. Strange if not everyone is getting it.

Not getting it on a desktop PC running w10 on IE11 or Chrome 🙄

It is not only incorrectly transcribed  surnames to contend with. I found when searching for my mother and grandmother with only the name of the road and town, I got a zero result, although I recognised many of the neighbours, a lot were missing. I knew the address because my parents still lived there after they married, and I was born there.

When I searched again using their name and town but no street, up they came, the name of the road was misspelt. It seems half the road has been correctly indexed as AlexandRA, the other half incorrectly as AlexandER. When I searched the road again with the wrong spelling I found the missing neighbours.

I have notified FindMyPast, but I don't know if they will amend the index, because the naming the road is not shown on the unlocked image.

I am looking for John[known as Jack] Bellamy.
When he married my aunt Edith Clulo on 22nd Oct. 1939, he was living at 36,Clibran Street, Cheetham, Manchester.
I have found Clibran street but there is only one page available and those are all the odd nos!
Can anyone tell me how to find the even nos.?

A John Bellany (1913) is at 36 CLIBURN Street ref 4504d/08 with Thomas and Annette Bellany.
