I never knew that. Obvious that I do not have a degree in English geography.

Thanks

I have a missing great grandfather on 1939 register. He’s in the 1901 and 1911 census and have a death in 1961

There’s no record of military service in WW2 (he would be 54).

In 1939 his wife is shown as being married, and at an address, but he’s not there. There *is* a redacted line above her but as he died in 1961, surely this can’t be him or it would be un-redacted.

Any ideas on what’s going on?

Trying to find records for Walter James Huckin born 1885 Enstone. His wife was Minnie Matilda.

Where did he die?

The 1939 National Register was renamed the NHS Register, and updated by them until the early 1990's.
But they could only update once they had the facts! ;D

He died in the same area, Preston

On all the websites it’s still called the 1939 register, and Minnie is in it.

Are you checking on Ancestry (updated annually) or FindMyPast (updated monthly, I believe)?

You can report an error by sending a copy of the Death Certificate?
It's free for FindMyPast subscribers.
Otherwise send to The National Archives, with a fee.

Yes I am. I’m working daily on this. Ordered copy of death certificate so will try that. I don’t even know if he’s the redacted entry...

He may have been Walter James in between, but in the birth and death indexes he appears to be Walter John

FF / 697
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-V3D4-L7K1?i=133&cat=987517

Gives the register number of one other occupant. Seems to be Thomas Atkinson, buried a couple of months later.
