1939 Register up and running (Part 3)

[ScouseBoy]

Yes it was maintained up to 1991,but the facts would only be amended on the 1939 register if they were told. If someone died in hospital there was less chance that the register would be informed.

One would think that the reverse would happen.

IE.   If they died in Hospital  one would expect that the register would be updated.

Anyway,  both my parents have now  turned up on the register.

I would suggest that as the death index isn't supplied/sold by the GRO after 2007 to the likes of FindMyPast et al, names of those born after 1915 but died after that date won't be updated.

Well I've solved the mystery as to who the third closed person was with my grandparents on the 1939 Register, there wasn't one.   FindMyPast appear to have attached a closed entry from either house adjoining them to my grandparents but the original image (having given in and obtained it for half price credits) shows clearly there are only two closed people in the house with them.

So anyone wondering where a "closed" person is on the index, its quite likely FindMyPast have indexed them with the wrong household.

Hi, I've found a list of Enumeration District codes, which can be found here:

This business of who is redacted and who is not is confusing me now    (doesn't take much these days )   Will we ever be able to see those people who were born after 1915 and who died after 2007 ?

I thought records were opened 100 years after their birthdate

I see that about 0.025% of the population could justly claim that this isn't a good enough threshold

At a guess, only when 100 years has passed after their birth, or if somebody submits their death certificate as proof. So more records will be opened year on year, but we'll have to wait a long time to see a lot of people's records opened.

I guess it's the same for people who died overseas.

As it stands now the full register will be unreduacted [unredacted] by 2039 unless living people (i.e. those older than 100) write to FindMyPast or the GRO and request that their details remain closed.

In the meantime records of those who are at present redacted will be unredacted when FindMyPast or the GRO are provided with proof of their death.
FindMyPast have a team ceking [checking] birth registers and other records in an effort to open as many entries as possible and we the public can help by sending digital copies of death certificates in the cases we are aware of.

Cheers
