Well so far I have found it very useful I found out that my 2nd Great Grandmother was living with my 2nd Great Aunt in Birmingham in 1939. This aunt had been a brickwall of mine for sometime, thanks to the 1939 register I have been able to trace her marriage and death.
I have come across the odd "closed" entry but in one instance was able to work it out as the "g's" of the name decended bellow the blacked out line and thus it was easy to guess who they were and on another occasion my father (still living) is there while his brother (dead) is closed. Go figure.

How much is an annual subscription? It may be that if you have several closed records that you want to open, it would be cheaper to buy a subscription and you'd also be able to look at other record as well.

What about just UK? I can't find it as it just takes me to my account and tries to get me to upgrade.  ;D

Thanks to all for the feedback.  In this particular case I'm 99% sure the closed records are the three children (including my late father).  They would all be at school, so no great interest in occupations etc.  Was just concerned at the fact that 2 of the 3 records should have been open, and whether this is indicative of the accuracy of the register as of 1991.  Both deaths occurred in England, one at home, one in hospital, full deaths certs issued in both cases.
