I'm wondering why Rose and John stated they were married in the 1921 Census - any ideas?

Do you have a pic stating when they are married? Is this something that FindMypast have added? I have found some relatives where the 1939 Register would show Maiden Name and Married name on the record. But I know that they married POST 1939

As I understand it married names were routinely added to the 1939 Register as and when the people affected subsequently got married. But I don't know when this stopped, or why it was done.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Added to females - where known - and used by the NHS until the 1980s
