Finding Rachel Ann Dixon, widow, of Blackpool, on 1939 Register

[rosie99]

Sorry John, your link is just taking me to the 1939 search page if I select 'visit FindMyPast' .

I do think that there is at least one page missing, the odd numbers are all there and the evens from no 24.  I did find 144 Hornby Rd earlier

[DianaCanada]

I do not recognize the Hartley couple living at 144 Hornby rd., although I have several Hartley family connections, no direct ancestors. 
I too think part of Lincoln rd is missing, the lower even numbers.

Hi Rosie and Diana
Yes I know, Rosie, I'm sorry, I was using it again for illustrative purposes, including for myself (I am working blind here, no images!)
The high odd numbers in Lincoln Road are on 4242f / 21, then next page (22) is the low odd numbers, and Hornby Rd pops up a little as well.

So I agree there is a possibility of a missing page, perhaps findmypast didn't scan it? I wonder if anything can be done to get them (or TNA) to relook at it?

[rosie99]

I had not realised that I could search FindMyPast with just those references so thank you for that.   There must be a way of reporting them to both TNA and FindMyPast. Shame the originals are now archived somewhere, I wouldn’t have minded a trip to Kew.

I was searching using the 1939 on Ancestry, so there might be an issue with the original.

[rosie99]

Was it not one of those databases that FindMyPast had transcribed in conjunction with TNA and Ancestry got it from them 12 months later

[MollyC]

Yes, FindMyPast made it available first and had exclusive use for a period.  See:

They aim to reply within 2 days.

Having seen the images, there is a page missing
4242f / 18 ends 212 Hornby Road, schedule 239
next image is
4242f / 20 begins 24 Lincoln Road, schedule 253

That's about 13 schedules missing.
Those references are also given on ancestry downloads.
