1939 register notation
« on: Sunday 30 July 23 16:18 BST (UK) »
I was just wondering what the notation was for against my father in the 1939 register. Written in red ink is the reference F/MX859281/P. Surely this means something? He was 9 at the time.

Welcome to rootschat

Notations on the 1939 register were added after it was compiled.  It was used by the NHS until the early 1990's so probably a reference to one of their records.  Could the MX be an abbreviation for Middlesex  :-\

Was 85-92-81, his National Insurance number, by any chance?

Hi
I have a relative with "STINGS FOR ENTRY" "DJSA 80.11" beside her name. Any idea what this means?
Thank you!

Second part may be a later NHS registration in a different district.  DJS was Strood Rural District, Kent, subdivided by the fourth letter; plus a date.  See:

No idea about the first part.

Are you able to tell us the name and age of the person this refers to and where they are located so we can look at the entry ourselves
