Ure Westall, 1939 Register

[Dundee]

What medical information would they add to 1939 Register - what would be the point?

"...since 1948 the Register had also been used by the National Health Service, who continued updating the records until 1991, when paper-based record keeping was discontinued."

For many people the medical notations would have spanned the whole 50 years up to the 1990's.

Peter Calver from Lost Cousins has a different explanation - apparently has had access to his record when it was later added.

"The information that we can't see on the right-hand page of the 1939 Register......
simply records when the individual concerned moved from one doctor to another."
 
People move around a lot more now,, would move GP many times. Ure didn't move house very much, perhaps she just changed GP frequently.
