What! The 1939 Register For Free!

[carol8353]

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.

From the website.....

On September 1st, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, putting the wheels in motion for Britain to declare war on the 3rd. On September 5th, the National Registration Act received royal assent and Registrar General Sir Sylvanus Vivian announced that National Registration Day would be September 29th.

It's September 29th. So most marriages in the third quarter of 1939 would have taken place.

September 29th it is then thank you claire and carol. 

I am finding out so much stuff it's unreal, especially since I remember a lot of these older relatives   I just found my great auntie's husband, I only had them on a marriage index before, and with the help of his DOB from the Register and then going into Ancestry I found him in censuses and his death quite easily.  He died when I was only 2 years and 8 months old and I'm quite shocked that I can still vaguely remember him as I didn't realise my memories went quite so far back!!!

I noticed that two stretches of street that were completely missing from the database 3 months ago are now there, which is encouraging.
