1939 register. Red star
« on: Monday 06 June 16 16:50 BST (UK) »
I apologise if this question has been asked but what is the meaning of the red star beside a persons name?
This is the first time I have seen it whilst searching for names.

I aren't sure how much information I am allowed to give but here goes.
Her surname is Bartle and 1919 was her birth year. Schedule 124 ,Schedule sub number 3. Cornwall.
A person 3 rows from her has the same mark.

Maybe she was being marked for being called up as a young single woman  when they introduced the call-up of women for War related Service?
