In the situation that Britain found itself in September 1939 I would imagine the last thing that would be done is to check information provided. A trait which seems to have been passed down to their grandchildren when it comes to checking references etc. today!!

Plus as many people didn't know exactly how old they were then there will be known errors in 1939 registration card dates of birth. But it is nothing to worry about as this happened all the time.

Most of the time the month and day is right though.

I had one address, two names and today I got the e-mail you had 2 days ago, so there's hope yet.

Pleased to hear you got a result Coombs, hopefully Lizzie and Parmesan will soon get something too.

Have heard of one person who supplied just a name and date of birth and who has had no luck.

I am waiting to hear how my friend has got on, her results may affect my interest. 

I wonder what sort of search facilitiy might be available in the future?  That would assist us and save money.

Hi

I would like to ask for more but the 20 day wait seems a bit of a drag.
