I am asking if anyone has a subscription to enable household details on the 1939 register be viewed? Is that the normal procedure for this web site? I am not fully aware of how it works.Thank you. |

Officially Closed means they were born after 1915 and were still alive after 1991. |

Thank you DetEcTive, now to decide whether the households are worth opening or not. If it is officially closed, do they still have the name and information listed? |

No Carole, that's the whole meaning of 'closed' :-) |

Thank you Joonie, guess I won't waste my time or money then. My family obviously fall under the category of moving overseas and they died out of the UK. Pity, I was hoping after all the hype of the 1939 listing coming, that it would provide some answers. |

Hi Joonie, So, if you go for a record of someone born 1885 (who died in UK 1959) you would see him there PLUS a woman he lived with (that you had not asked to see) but you know was born in 1888 and must therefore surely be long dead - you could see her and any other residents conforming with the rules described. |

I'm no expert here ... I haven't paid to view anything so far because I've found what I wanted just by the free search |

An afterthought. Maybe somebody can advise me on this: As everybody had to put the day, month and year of their birth on their ration book application forms, do you think it possible that the software can pull out absolutely everyone who registered who had the date of birth - 9th August 1888? I think this is the only way to find out about a missing wife of my relative who was obviously using the surname of her new man! Obviously I would be prepared to pay for this information. |

Yes, you can just search by birth date, but- |

Thanks for your reply Austin.Q. The missing lady was born in Whitechapel on 9 August 1888 and named Mary Ann Connor. In December 1907 she married my uncle Henry Frederick Bass and was appearing on the 1911 census as Mary Ann Bass. The couple split but did not divorce. I tracked him to Camberwell with his new lady and they are on the 1939 census. We are assuming that if she was alive in 1939 she would have registered for a ration book. Of course it is possible that she did between 1912 and then - or emigrated but if she did it was not in her legal name. So you can see what I am up against. I can't afford to have FMP or Ancestry membership nowadays so any help of advice would be much appreciated. |

Oh right, I see what you mean- quite a task as she could have been down as Mary or Mary Ann! |

Jennifer, Have you checked the electoral registers? |

I have world wide subscription on FMP and I can use the 1939 register and look at all the original version of the register without buying credits. |
