1939 Register look-up requests at TNA - list closes @ 9:30am Tuesday 10 Nov GMT

[dawnsh]

Hi all

I am planning to go to TNA at Kew on Tuesday 10th November.

I know that there have been a couple of look-up requests already but if you want clarification of an entry post away and I'll do by best for you.

Please give the name of the person you are after, their date of birth to the best of your knowledge if you have it or their age in 1939, their possible address or the "Borough/District" from the free search and the reference number from the URL at the top of the page (I'm aware that the 'hover' function mentioned a few days ago may not be working as it used to.)

This is a reference for my great grandfather, (Percy Sherry if you want to have a look for him) the equivalent numbers I need from you are in red

search.findmypast.co.uk/record/locked?id=tna%2fr39%2f0950%2f0950e%2f009%2f26

I'll be there all day and will do as many as I can.

If I'm allowed to take photos of screen shots I will do, if not, it will be transcriptions.

Will you be able to see the closed entries, or only what we can see if we unlock the record?

Eg in my enthusiasm on day 1, I opened the record of my husband's great grandmother only to see her and 7 blocked entries. All the children have died but since 1991. We have the death certificate for my husband's grandfather so will send that off, but it would be interesting to see the whole entry.

Hi Dawn....How kind of you...I am curious about this record as 

 Frederick W Groom 1869 _  Kingston Upon Hull - East Yorkshire
Frederick W Groom and 1 more person are on this record
 
3 more people who are officially closed

3125d 002

I know that Fred lost his wife leaving 3 Children in 1933 but despite trying all variants and giving DOB +/- 2 years... I have failed to find them so I am reluctant to pay for this household if the locked people are not who I expect...All three are now deceased but the oldest child only passed away on October 21st this year.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Even at TNA, you can only view open records.

Dawn, if you got the time, could you possibly look at the following please as I'd be interested to know what her middle name was and also where she was residing because a play on the place keyword box isn't bringing up where we thought she would be.  A distant relative believes she could be his "old aunt Maggie" with whom they resided during the war after being evacuated but not until 1943 so his mother isn't on there with her.

Many thanks.

Oh...okay Dawn...Thanks...I wouldn't be able to see them anyway if they are the children as I only have a death certificate for my MIL 
They weren't evacuated either.

Thanks Dawn, I assumed so but thought it worth asking 

Hope you have a successful day.
