1939 Register up and running (Part 3)

[Guy Etchells]

Better still, suggest that he comes on here.

If he does come here (or if he is already subscribed here) I can tell him exactly where the two entries are he is looking for.

Cheers

I've one family I would really like to find, but no matter what search terms I use, there is no sign of them.
I've even slogged through the road I thought they might be living in...nearly 400 households ... to no avail, although I did find several marked as just Household, with no details on the preview. What on earth is the point of those?

Might they be households where everyone is redacted due to being born after 1915 and not died before 1991

Entirely possible... could be two yound newlyweds both born after 1916? Households where everyone is redacted will be uncommon, but not impossible.

That's a point, I suppose FindMyPast's system doesn't allow for these to be hidden. Having seen some Rootschatters say that they know people who are still alive who haven't been redacted, & some who died before 1991 who have been redacted I can't help wondering if my missing family have been victims of some sort of error &  are in one of these households.

The address search lists the house numbers in the street, odd numbers first then odd numbers added later, followed by even numbers then even numbers added later.

Some additional addresses (those who did not respond to the registration at the time) were not added to this register but added to the later register these are not available.

Thanks to the brilliant guidance on here, I was just able to check the addresses in Slaidburn Street, Chelsea. I'd expected to find my grandparents and other members of the family (they were mainly houses of multiple occupancy) - in 1934 my grandparents were on the electoral roll at number 45, although they had also lived at no 44. Checking the list of house numbers, all the numbers are consecutive but annoyingly stop at number 43 and resume at number 49.
So frustrating!
Guy, what am I missing this time? You've been so patient and informative, perhaps they would have been on the later register you mention, although I don't know why a run of houses would all have failed to respond.

It could be that all the people in those houses are covered by the Data Prevention Protection Act, i.e. there are still thought to be alive.
See my answer number 102 in this thread.

Thank you, Guy.

Yes, my mother and her siblings would be closed but my grandparents were born pre-1900 and old Granny Sweeney about 1875.   

Just a blip I expect.....it's what I've come to expect from my family!

Thanks again for all your invaluable help.

Managed to get my aunty's entry opened up who died a year ago. So will try some more entries.
