1939 Register up and running (Part 3)

[ReadyDale]

ReadyDale, that's fantastic information! Maybe no 45 needed a tiny bit of work after the church was bombed (I love the comment about the good job of aging it.    ) so they decided to move anyway, especially as Gfather had died by then.

I am so grateful for your help, thank you very much indeed. Now I know they were definitely where they should be in 1939!

Much appreciated.

Assuming that it was there they were bombed out from, then yes. But don't forget, the 1939 electoral roll would be based on where they were October 1938. So it COULD be that they moved from there between Oct 38 and Sep 39, and that they were bombed from elsewhere.
One possible way to be more sure. Do you have a death cert for John Young? Does it say where he died/his normal address? It could of course be that he died after they were bombed out (as they seem to both have been 1944) and it would say his new adress, but worth a try. Of course, he may have died from injuries from the bombing or even the shock of it.

  I do not think there had been any bombs dropped on England in September 1939.

[ReadyDale]

I didn't say otherwise

[roopat]

ReadyDale, I don't have his death cert yet but I know from my mother that he died of cancer    but yes, I agree, that would be the next step to confirm address.

Thank you once again for taking so much trouble, "They can run but they can't hide"...... at least not from expert Rootschatters!   

Scouse Boy - sorry, you're right of course, naughty corner for me for going off-topic.  Got carried away.....

I've had two records unredacted after submitting death certificates dated 2011 and 2014 - both of my parents! No notifications received though.

Perhaps that's their way of informing us that we are successful!

  In the spirit of 1939  perhaps they will send you a signal in Morse code?

In all seriousness, it's good to see that the system for un-redacting records is working. Findmypast must have been inundated with requests, judging on some of the messages I've seen on here!

I sent "evidence of death" on 2nd November, no notification of the entry being opened so I decided to check.

 Oh dear........it looks as though they have opened the wrong one......a sister  (who I think is still alive) of the man I was researching! 

How can a death certificate for a male be confused with a female........
