What! The 1939 Register For Free!

[Blue70]

Can anyone confirm if it's available on the free library version or is it not included?

It is supposed to be, according to FindMyPast.   

We have a few visitors to our Research Centre anticipating finding family members at their next visit.

I think I might have to unnotify new replies to this thread ,I need all the time I have to do 1939 look ups.

After a lot of searching I eventually found my husband's great grandmother.

The register clearly shows her as female, widowed, born 1866.

The transcription shows her as male, married, year of birth unknown.

I am really surprised to find my dad and his twin brother on there.  My dad died in 1982 and his twin in 2006.  Both would be 90 if still alive. I thought records under 100 years old were redacted and needed a death certificate to open them??

I've just found a relation where the transcription says "Certified assistant schoolmistress. Retired on mariner."   When I checked the image it is obviously "retired on marriage"

Some records have been matched up with the death index, which means lots of records that wouldn't have been opened yet are now open.

That is fantastic!!!  I've found out all sorts in such a short period of time, I even found a great aunt living next door to her future husband so now I know how they met 

Without going back through all of these posts do we have a 1939 Register date as we do for the censuses?  If so, it might help me to pin down a death of somebody with a common name.

I've just found my great grandad living with one of his sons and family,but not transcribed,no wonder he didn't appear before. It's difficult to amend a transcription when one person has been missed off,but I did it by adding a comment to the family page.
