Hello
I'm hoping a more intensive user of the 1939 register on FindMyPast can give me some pointers. I've located a number of families were a son was killed in WW2 and provided CWGC entries to open up their record - great.
My Great Aunt and Uncle aren't listed with their parents as they were married before the register was taken and so living elsewhere. My Great Aunt has been passed away a few years now and Great Uncle killed during the war. Repeated tweaks on the searches have yet to pull where they were living at the time. I can hazard a guess at the three districts they were living but no other way to ration it down.
Any hints and tips gladly received.

If Gt uncle was in the services in the war he would not appear on the register.
Did the couple have children that you could locate

Have you tried to find them on pre-1939 electoral registers?

If they have been badly mistranscribed,try them by just a christian name and a full or partial DOB.
