Beyond the 1939 Register

In this talk, Richard will look at understanding the 1939 Register as part of a much wider set of records.

The enumeration of 29th September 1939 is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to available records, but knowing what exists and how to access information is an entirely different matter. Maybe you have some family records that might help, such as national identity cards, ration books or medical cards?

Discover how the registers were used by the Central National Registration Office and later by the NHS, from 1939 until 1991. Learn about the existence of additional records, the information that they contain, and how they might help you with locating family members between 1939-1991. Also, what information is contained in the redacted section of the 1939 Register? Book now and find out.
