1939 National Register

They "may"  have a magnetic tape  or a disc  with them all listed on?   But they "may"   not have processed it yet, possibly?

The GRO aren't selling copies any longer, whether that is only to commercial enterprises or not I don't know.  More recent events are available but only on fiche and only at five places in England and Wales.

But 2007 deaths should be available on FindMyPast according to their website. Anything later than that is only available at 5 places.

My father died in 1978.  He wasn't on FindMyPast's 1939 Register when I last looked on 30 Dec.  I found his sister's death via the Probate Service because it's so recent, 2011.

Well, that's interesting!!  FindMyPast have my father's DoB wrong by 20 years in their version of the GRO index! No wonder his 1939 record isn't being released! They can't and won't be able to match the two events. FreeBMD haven't got that far yet.  Ancestry, however, have it correct.

TBH, I despair of FindMyPast. See my post made 15.42.

I've just checked The Genealogist and they have my father's year of birth correct too.

I've done a check on Ancestry using a couple of common names.  They have deaths Jan-March and a couple in April but nothing later than that.
