1939 Register query
« on: Monday 28 February 22 16:29 GMT (UK) »
I hope someone can help.
I have looked up someone I am researching born in 1930 - found him OK. But at the side of his entry are the notes  Ref 30/145/2968  4 (rest cannot be seen) 22079090 (R rest cannot be seen) on the opposite page.
Does anyone know to what these refer?
Thank you
Sue

It would be far easier and clearer simply to give the name and the link to the specific page.

Has anybody from FindMyPast given reasons for why the 'opposite' pages not been scanned so we can all read that data properly? If there's no actual personal ID references* it's hardly deemed breaking the OSA.
* I know on some occasions it may refer to a page later in the book which is blanked out anyway, but it can resolve part of the issue of not knowing.

Maybe it is worth you asking them,  they do say on this link that if there is anything you want to know about the 1939 register you can contact them.

I think that we also have to remember that the 1939 Register was subsequently updated by National Registration when that was in force, and then by the National Health Service until 1991.  Therefore those abbreviations may be pertinent to those bodies, rather than the original Register.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

The 1939 register was also used as a control for Post War Credit refunds, initially on death (they tend to be prefixed "PWC") and then in the general refund exercise in the 1970s (those ones have quite long reference numbers with several / separations).

So, of no interest even if the pages were/had been scanned?
