The Common Room / Electoral Register 1929 UK
« on: Sunday 14 May 23 20:36 BST (UK) »
My Grandfather seems to have been recorded twice in the 1929 Electoral Register, both at his home address and what appears to be a business address ... anyone any idea why this would be please?

The Common Room / 1939 Register
« on: Friday 12 May 23 16:13 BST (UK) »
On the 1939 Register, the part page that is visible on the right hand side can offer useful snippets of information about your relative but I find the coding there very confusing!
In this case against my relative's name and written in red (is this relevant?) is the letter C, enclosed in a square, and the number 76, also enclosed in a square. There is then a horizontal line from them leading off to the right across the page. Anyone any idea what this might mean?
Thank you.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering occupation
« on: Tuesday 28 June 22 14:56 BST (UK) »
Oh wow, thank you Bookbox. I had 'Googled' walkmiller but hadn't found anything! Another occupation to add to unusual ones I have found ... my favourite of all being "Town Scavenger" which, despite the image it evokes, was a street cleaner 
Thank you also Treetotal & Milliepede for the Blacksmith suggestions but I think Walkmiller was right all along.

Thank you again everyone, the original date is correct and I think that arthurk may have a good reason for the amendment.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Annotation on 1939 Register
« on: Wednesday 23 June 21 15:47 BST (UK) »
Could anyone tell me what the annotation means above the middle entry for James Nevitt on this extract from the 1939 Register please. Is it a correction of his d.o.b.? But what does the NUO mean? I know you wonderful people will help. Thanks in advance.
