Is it possible for someone to look up who were the occupiers of 15 Windsor Road, Bournemouth and 15 Windsor Road Christchurch in the 1939 Census?
I have a birth cert for a person in 15 Windsor Road, Bournemouth, but my mother said it may have been Christchurch, now I need to find out.
Potential occupiers I am looking for are either Bridie O'Rorke and William H Taylor. I would really appreciate any help at this point, because it would make some progress on my FH.
Thank you to anyone in advance.

Hi there
Is there anyone who could give me information about who the occupiers were at
5 Windsor Road, ST John's Hants
in the 1939 census
I would be looking for one of two people here, either Bridie O'Rorke or William Taylor
I am having problems doing this, and appreciate any help, thank you.

There was no census in 1939? :-\
I presume you are referring to the 1939 National Register?
When were these people born?
Individuals’ records remain closed for 100 years from their date of birth (100 year rule). Records remain closed for people born less than 100 years ago until proof of death is verified.
Presumably you are looking for the people from this marriage?
December qtr 1945
Bournemouth Registration District vol 2b, page 2055
O'Rorke, Bridie A
Taylor, William J
Finally, in which town or city is St Johns?
-
Details from the 1939 National Register are only available via subscription, on FindMyPast.
But the indexes are free to search.
Living at 5 Windsor Road, Bournemouth were:
Eva Down and F?Yman Down (b1898).
Plus 1 more person who is officially closed.

Thank you KGarrad, sorry, I am rather new to this 1939 National register thing, I am trying to look up things in it and just keep drawing blanks, I have an Aunt whose birthcert states she was born at that address in Bournemouth in 1939, I now know from you, that she would not show on the list as she is under 100 years old, though her mother, Bridie O'Rorke was born in 1896 and William Taylor 1909, maybe either of them had not arrived at Windsor road by then.
You are right about the marriage details, that is my Grandmothers second marriage, though when she had two babies in 1937 and 1939(the 1937 one was in Cheltenham) there is no registered father, though she still went under her previously married name O'Rorke for both of the birth certs, even though her first husband died in 1929. her birth name was Cooke.
The name of the area, St John's comes from my Grandmothers burial records in Bournemouth, it states on the burial record that her address at time of burial was 5 Windsor Road, St John's, Hants, I know that the Address Windsor road is in Bournemouth, so I suppose it could be referring to the district it is in? I also know there is a Windsor Road in nearby Christchurch too, though that can't be likely if she is buried in Bournemouth?
We are thinking she kept the name for purposes of retaining a widows pension and may not have married William Taylor until later, but may have lived with him all along.
I have searched for Bridie on that find my past, but to just get any details like address or anything, it keeps asking me for that expensive subscription, which I cannot afford, especially that I probably won't use it after that. Thank you for your help and answering me back.

Try looking for a Brichie Bruke born in 1899 ;D :o

Hi Carol,
Haven't really got a clue what you are referring to, Brichie Bruke 1899? Is this of some relevance to what is being spoken about in this thread?
Please enlighten me :D
All the best, and looking forward to your answer
Pete

Good find, Carol ;D

Yes obviously it is linked to what we are trying to help you with ,which is to find Bridie O'Rorke in the 1939 register,so try putting in Brichie Bruke born 1899 ,Bournemouth CB and see what you get.
Transcriptions can be dire sometimes when people's writing is misread.
Carol

Thank you,
I will, thanks for the pointer, sorry I needed a nudge! how did you find that?
I will look soon, am out walking at the moment.
Pete

Excellent find, Carol!
Pete, it might be worth finding out if your local library has free access to FindMyPast?
It may, or may not, include access to the 1939 National Register?
You haven't said on your profile where you are, so I can't help with telling you where you might find access?
-
...and remember that for copyright and subscription terms & condition reasons we are not allowed to do look-ups in the 1939 register or 1911 census for anyone.

That's cool, you have given me a new direction anyway, unfortunately, I don't live in Britain, but just across the water in Ireland, though the local LDS family centre is close to me, they may have it for free there?
Can't get there for a few days, but when I do find out a possible solution, I will post it here, once again thank you all so much, I will leave this open for a while longer.
Pete :)

To give you the bearings, Windsor Road is in the parish of St. John's Church located a few minutes walk away on Christchurch Road, Boscombe.

We're not allowed to do look ups for the 1939 census, sorry. Does the birth certificate perhaps say in the Registration District of Bournemouth in the Sub-District of Christchurch?
Looking at FreeBMD, the district used to be called Bournemouth & Christchurch (Sept 1925-Sept 1932), then it became Bournemouth from Dec 1932. So it's quite possible that the birth was in the Registration District of Bournemouth in the Sub-District of Christchurch.

There's another thread about this, although the OP gives the address as 15 Windsor Road.

Sorry, I did put one up for Dorset, but realised it was hampshire, but i did put end topic, I will try to remove it completely, apologies, and thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry, I have to say, I am guilty, and would be quite happy to remove this post from the Dorset forum, if someone can tell me how, I will do it immediately. I just can't see a way around it, I did put topic ended, and have posted a question on the how to use rootschat forum, it is obviously an issue, because admins are pointing it out to me, so I would like to offer this solution.
Pete

You can't Pete- only a moderator can.
You can go back into your original posting and change it (but it won't affect any of the ones anyone else has posted in)

On the top post I have put a warning, but if I caannot change the heading, that is the best I can do ???

You may have been confused by the fact that Bournemouth was in Hampshire until county boundary changes in 1974 moved it into Dorset, so it didn't matter which county you posted your query in. This has resulted in half the Bournemouth Archives are now held in Dorset, the rest in Winchester, Hampshire.
-
Hi Jebber
I think ths was my initial confusion not being familiar with the area, I was there once, and I remember someone telling me that through the urban areas surrounding Bournemouth that there is a county boundary running through many areas, thus confusing outsiders quite often as I was here today :)
all the best

I have changed the heading for you.
