Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1939 register surname changes

So it looks like a simple name change to that of the man she lived with, thank you all for your answers.

Thank you Carol, I know why women who married had their new surnames noted on the register, I am wondering where the notifications came from, official records or the women simply notifying the doctor's surgery of the name change without having to supply proof.

I ask because I have a relative's surname changes on the register but I cannot find a record of the 2nd marriage, so am wondering if they were living together & she simply called herself by her partner's surname.

Census and Resource Discussion / 1939 register surname changes

With regard to the surname changes on the 1939 register, from where did the new names come?
Was it from official records of marriages (GRO?) or just from, say, Miss Brown telling her doctor her surname was now Green, & the doctor perhaps assuming she had married & so her name was changed on the records?

Same here, two children in one household, one still alive but has always been visible, the other died in 2015 but is still redacted. Perhaps being married 4 times means she is lost somewhere in the system!

The Irony is that the individual whom I'm interested in is redacted, born 1923 died 2007. His brother, living in a different
household born 1928 and is still alive Is unredacted. Shows that errors are made.

Same as me, my grandmother is redacted and died 2014, her younger brother is also redacted (died 2017), two of her sisters are unredacted - both died after her - in fact one has always been visible since the release date and she died this summer

The Common Room / Re: Surname used as a middle name
« on: Sunday 22 October 23 19:27 BST (UK)  »
 I've one tree with families who seem particularly keen on using surnames as middle names, such as Millgate, Redman, Wyborn, Clayson. Usually it helps with searches, but with the usual repeated fornames, I have 3 Edward Millgate ARCHERs, & 4 Richard Redman ARCHERs.
One lucky man was given 6 forenames, 2 of which are surnames - Richard Redman Samuel William George Abbott ARCHER.

Annoyingly my 4xGt grandfather was a Thomas MILGATE (one L) but I haven't (yet) found a connection with the other tree.

The Lighter Side / Re: "Your family made the news"
« on: Thursday 19 October 23 16:20 BST (UK)  »
I received this email & got quite excited thinking it was a hint for something I didn't know, but was sadly disappointed!

Online newspapers are a wonderful resource, without them I would never have discovered the full story of a missing child, a grandfather in court for receiving stolen goods, a cousin burning to death in her father's shop, a drowning in the Yarra River, a cousin inventing a new flour-milling process, another introducing a particular breed of sheep to New Zealand. Note to self - when searching NZ newspapers do not use the word sheep  ;D luckily I knew the breed which considerably cut down the search results. Suicides, child neglect, husband abandoning his wife & child...it all makes a family tree into a family history.
