Missing 1939 register entry

[roycymru]

Hi

I am looking for Ivor Phillips born 1924 in the 1939 register. I have found a promising lead in FindMyPast (searches) see attached. I don’t subscribe to FindMyPast but do subscribe to Ancestry, however I can’t find the equivalent on Ancestry. What am I doing wrong?

On Ancestry the record is still closed

I've managed to find an entry in King Street and from there navigate to no 15. Looks like Ivor is still redacted on Ancestry - there's a blanked out entry between a person born in 1921 and one born in 1930.

The indexing of their page only records the house number, not street name. And no mention of Pontlottyn. Other households are recorded as being in Kings Street

Thank you for this information, that’s very useful and explains things. From his death record I have a date of birth for “my” Ivor of 19 Nov 1924. I don’t know if anyone is able to confirm if this corresponds to the redacted entry
