I didn't include any names as I thought giving the address was enough and they would just give me ALL the people who were living there that are now deceased.

I don't understand 'we are unable to locate the requested data based upon the information provided' surely they search for the address and the folk should be listed there???

Anyway I'm not hopeful but I've sent another email outlining my grievance!

That is exactly the reply I got Parmesan, strange that they could not help with two of yours and the third was unhelpful!

Oh no, I get the feeling they will tell me my aunt lived at the address and not find any info on her "husband".

On the other hand Lizzie you may get good stuff and make us envious!

Hope you do anyway.

Happy bunny - my request for a list of those at an address in St Albans has just arrived, with six people listed, two of whom I haven't come across before, but who I suspect were boarders. Big thanks to Guy for the timely tip!

A Scottish request now resolved, an English request now resolved - just my Northern Irish request still to be sorted!  :)

Well that's a bit of better news.

Yes what a good turn Guy did us just a pity they managed to get organised and start charging quite so quickly!

Hi

Given that the registration took place a few weeks after the war started its likely that reservists would have been called up and therefore would not have been registered at their home address, also evacuations of children had commenced so where would they have been registered? No doubt many adults also 'evacuated' either to a safer place or because others had left the family home.

Well I got my reply today and good news, despite me giving the wrong address - I said Dulverton Avenue, Coventry and it turns out my aunt and uncle lived at Birchfield Road, Coventry - I now have the National Registration Number (don't know if that is any use to me) and the date of birth of my uncle which is what I wanted.  The info also included their occupations, interestingly my aunt's is shown as "Unpaid Domestic Duties".

Now all I have to do is find someone with the same Christian name as my uncle and the same date of birth  ???  I know that the surname they used was not his, but was one of my aunt's given names and was the maiden name of her mother.

great Lizzie, glad you got a positive result.

I'm still one address outstanding that I sent for in a separate email - I won't hold my breath!
