1939 census advice
« on: Friday 09 July 21 22:34 BST (UK) »
I am looking for details on Veronica Mary Jones
I have found her on the 1939 census.
There are two name changes for her change of surname to be Sparks I am not able to read the numbers at the side of that. There was another in green, Hurdley says CR283 9/1/59 Bradford.
I am trying to find details of both her marriages but can't seem to find anything. It is Warwickshire, Birmingham where she lived. Page 10 of 22.
Can any one advise me please?

Can you include her birthdate from the 1939 entry.  You have posted on the WR Yorkshire board but say she lived in Birmingham?  Can you clarify?

Are you saying the 1939 entry is under Jones but with 2 subsequent surname changes?

EDIT - Have now found the entry

There is a death for Veronica M Hurdley, 1968, Wharfedale.
Maybe it is her  :-\

BRA is the district code for Staines in Middlesex.

A CR283 is the form used to notify of a name change.  She didn't have to be married to change her name, she may have been just using that surname at the time.

The other looks like it starts with a 'K' and all of the K codes are in Yorkshire.

There wasn't a census in 1939! ;D

I think what you are referring to was the 1939 National Register.

A census is a snapshot of where people were on a single specific night.
The 1939 Register was kept updated until the 1990's; mainly by the NHS.
