1939 Registration

I have not read all of this thread, so apologies if it has already been covered.

I fail to see how people can expect to receive details from all residents at an address. As to give that information for a living person would breach their rights to privacy; and you cannot very well ask a question along the lines of '...please provide details of all people at this address who are no longer living.".

Have a read of Reply No. 9 and a look at the link on Reply No. 54.

I am hoping to receive similar information when mine is dealt with.

Scottish returns are for an individual only, searchable by date of death. I believe Guy was able to get info on all at the address he requested.

Far easier just to write-
I wish to request under the Freedom of Information Act details of the residents
of XX Street, X town  from the 1939 National Registration.

The NHS-IC have a database that tells them whether the people are alive or dead.

If they are alive the NHS-IC will redact their information, If they are dead the NHS-IC will release the information.

Why make things difficult?

There will be a number of people who slip through the net such as those who emigrated, very occasionally it may be necessary to supply further details (perhaps details of their death).
When dealing with civil servants never volunteer more information than necessary.

I've spoken to NHSIC today, which will be announcing fairly soon how it plans to provide a better facility to gain access (in a matter of weeks).

Re: Northern Ireland. The records are held at PRONI, and they have confirmed they are watching proceedings here on the mainland. Any prospective release in NI will likely be delayed due to the massive move by PRONI later this year, when the archive will be closed for nine months. But they are looking into it.

Excellent news, thanks for keeping us informed 

[Guy Etchells]

I would advise everyone to get their requests in now while it is still free.

When there is a system in place there will be a charge.

can you email a request or is a letter better?

edit: thanks I have just seen Guy's earlier post with details of how to apply.
