She did not get married until after the register was taken so Frederick will not be with her.  Have you located her parents in 1939

ADDED
I think you may be putting in too much information, Try Vera - surname Harrison (Owen) and nothing else on F M P - I presume you are searching on the 1939 search page

Yes I have tried putting in the bare minimum and I've tried putting in all the facts I know. I'm beginning to think that it's putting 'No Results Found' to everything I enter. Her father died in 1931 but when I put her mum (my gran) in there's no results found. I even tried it with the address. It must be sulking.  ;D

Could it be because you are putting Vera's birth year as 1919, it should be 1918.

Now that's strange. I put her mum's name in again with just year of birth and Sheffield ( this is exactly what I had done before but this time I got a result. Well 3 to be exact but 2 weren't the right person and Vera is living there as Vera Harrison. So I tried Nicholas again and got 4 results. He is living with a work mate I think as they are both locomotive firemen, in Cartmell Road about 200 yards away.
I think there must have been a problem with the site before as now it's giving me all these options whereas before it just kept saying No Results Found to everything I put in.

I said before that her maiden name was Owen and her married name was Harrison. I don't understand what you're meaning. Sorry.  ??? ???

Have you looked at the original image for Vera in 1939, not just the typed transcript. 

You will see she is Vera Owen. Owen was crossed out later and changed to Harrison when she married Nicholas Harrison.  Harrison has then been crossed out and updated with another surname.

The 1939 Register was updated by the NHS with name changes until 1991

See here.
