Help finding my Grandmother on the 1939 register
« on: Wednesday 28 June 17 12:20 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm pulling my hair out trying to find my Grandmother on the 1939 register.
On the Electoral register for Lewisham, London in Oct 1939.
They are down as living in 50 Granville Park Lewisham.S E13
Her name is Monica Isabel Lorraine Marchant, Born 5th Sept 1916. She was a serving officer in the ATS at the time.
She died in 1988.
I've also tried searching for her then husband, Roland McAlpin Marchant, Born 1908, he has also died.
I have looked all through Granville park road, and nothing!
 I hope someone can help

Your help and time are greatly appreciated

Thank you

If you look at the link from nanny jan's first post note 2.2 explains all.

Thanks. So she may well have been on leave and be on the register.
So you can look and find the people I'm looking for on the register, but you're not aloud to tell me if you've found them, is that right?

We are only allowed to give what information can be gleaned from a free search of the register. We are not allowed to give any information which only appears on the register but not on a free search.

Using the free search I can't yet see them either, so can only assume they were on the forces register

Have you thought about sending for a copy of your grandmother's service record? That might solve the puzzle.
