1939 Registration
« on: Tuesday 10 November 09 14:48 GMT (UK) »
I have just received the Information Commissioner's decision with regards to my request for information recorded in the 1939 Registration.
The Information Commissioner has found partially in my favour.

This means that it is illegal for the NHS Information Centre to withhold any information taken under the 1939 Registration if that information relates to deceased persons.
Cheers
Guy

The 1939 Registration was the enumeration to enable the issue of ID cards, ration books etc. in event of the outbreak of war (Second World War).

The details enumerated were
1. Names.
2. Sex.
3. Age.
4. Occupation, profession, trade or employment.
5. Residence.
6. Condition as to marriage.
7. Membership of Naval, Military or Air Force Reserves or Auxiliary Forces or of Civil Defence Services or Reserves.

 Some look on it as a census but it did not fall under the 1920 Census Act.

Thanks Guy.  Not sure I would need to use that as I have all the info about my close relatives from that period, but it might be useful for more distant relatives.

Guy, Thank you for this very important piece of news and for all your efforts in making the 1911 census available to us a lot sooner.
Like the others I would be interested to learn how we will be able to access/ask for information?
thanks, Pauline.

Hi Guy:

thank you for this important news, also may I say thank you for all your hard work on getting the 1911 census released early.  I would be interesting in knowing how to apply for the information and would there be a cost for this.

Cheers
