1939 National Register - Annotations and Cross References

[Chris Pyne]

Not 1/2 m/c  meaning rations as Ivy Hindle married  the above Richard Davies in 1940 and then the blue annotation might refer to 2nd marriage in 1969 to a James Clark.  Rationing had stopped by 1969!

Maybe the blue annotation is a form of source, the author and a reference number for the change to Clark.  The 1940 change to Davies has no source.

Re: point 5, you can see the page, at the right of the screen is an arrow, use that arrow, to advance one page and at the bottom of that screen is a number showing how many images are in the set. The amendments are usually on the last or the last but one page. Either jump to the last or last but one number or use the right hand arrow to scroll through.

If it is of any help, The text referred to is actually Green not Blue, there is a distinct difference  on other pages. An entry I have in which an additional name is shown in green without the other name crossed out, refers to an alias, I know the person I was researching was known by both names.

If they weren't on the Register, then they didn't get a National Identity card, and no Ration Book.

I think you'll find they were on the Register!

           No, They were NOT  on the register.

The Register was specifically for Civilians

Thanks, but in this case it does not seem to  follow that pattern. The right arrow does go to a next page where every entry is hidden except a duplicated entry for Richard Davies. The differences are "12" for month instead of "Dec", no occupation and the comment is now "See Page 14".   But there is no total of pages at bottom . There only seems to be these 2 pages in this set of images.

OK.  Working now, by searching on the address. I can see all 22 pages in this set of images. The last page 22 has the duplicate with some missing information , and the reference to "See page 14" is to the original record.  So when I do a person search it only shows the 2 relevant page images (14 and 22) as a subset. I now understand how it works but no further forward in terms of additional information on Richard Davies nor why he had a duplicated record added at the end of Register.

Thanks for all your contributions.

Was he a special Constable?

Was he a special Constable?

I do not know. That is new information. A quick search of this forum suggests that is not going to be easy to confirm, unless you know different?  A previous inquiry to Lancashire Constabulary regarding the historical records of Special Constables  was answered as "refer to Home Office".
 thanks

the duplicated entry may be there just to clarify his date of birth.

I've seen duplicated entries where the only 'difference' is a clarification of the house number of the address
