1939 Registration

[Guy Etchells]

The NHS are working on a solution at present.

In the mean time here is an idea of what one might expect at present.

I hope digital copies will be supplied at a later date.

Guy posted a link to a blank page of the registration document a page ago I think?   here's the link

Newbie - I can't access tinyurls from my laptop for some reason.  I don't know what is blocking it.  However, I looked at the link Guy posted at 19.43.08 tonight and that looks quite promising, but I had hoped it might give place of birth as well as age.

Here is the full url, you may have to copy and paste each line.

Thanks Guy.  I just clicked once on the full url, and the appropriate web page opened.

I'm pleased to see that full date of birth is asked for, that will help narrow down a little my uncle's birth, hopefully the Christian name I knew him by was his correct name.  (As I said earlier, he was a married man when he and my aunt set up home together, using one of her family names).  When a little girl, I used to stay with my aunt and uncle and I really loved him and would like to find out more about him.

Just checked my registration card, I assume the forms will have the same information.  It was issued in 1943, 17 days after my birth, it records a move to relatives in September 1944 (as does my mothers), another change of address when we returned home in December 1944 and a change of address when we moved house in 1948.  They may have recorded changes of address until the early 1950s

I would guess Robbo that changes in address were recorded while rationing of food and clothing were in force.

Robert,

Would you mind revealing the format of the number on that card.  Is it:

Up to five letters
Up to four digits
A decimal point
The number that you are in the family where father was .1 mother .2 and then the children in order.

What I would really like to know is whether children born after their parents had moved retained their parents reference or became part of a seperate reference.

I know that by about 1960 new NHS reference numbers seem to be GP dependent.

I've got my identity card, which I found whilst clearing my mother's things after her death, also hers and my brother's.

As we didn't move anywhere, it just shows our address at the time the cards were issued, and as I lived there until I was 12+, there were no changes on the form.
