Preview search tips for the 1939 Register before you buy

[Treetotal]

Yes I have just had two addition names shown in the preview that weren't there before.

Thanks Treetotal, I thought that was new, just a shame that was available from the word go but better late than never.

I've just posted on the 'Up & Running' thread to say that the Australian site hasn't changed.  Still showing full reference on preview, and no extra names, just the number of people.

So RootsChat strikes again - and the "big guns" retaliate 

Perhaps we shouldn't have had "if you don't have a subscription" in the thread title! 

(Actually, all these tips are just as useful whether you have a subscription or not.)

On FindMyPast's facebook page, lots of people are commenting that the number has disappeared, FindMyPast's reply is that they are working on it. That said, I have just done a new search and the numbers are back for me on firefox.

There are also posts about other names showing, with internet explorer, I've checked that also and still only have one name.

I've just updated the other thread, but what you see may perhaps depend on whether you have logged in (or not been logged in as I know you don't have to be in order to search) yesterday evening or today.  I'm logged in on IE11 and only get one name and the ref, but logged in on Firefox and get more than one name but no ref.

It seems, through reading various threads about the new 1939 register, that there are errors,

Yes, transcription error: ALLUM has been transcribed as ALBURN

I haven't noticed anyone requesting lookups from the 1939 register as everyone knows it is pay to view each record. Similar with Scotland's People - it is rare for anyone to request a look up as it is a credit based system.

Please, please, please, can some nice kind benefactor with credit to spare tell me the details of:

Robert C Alburn, bn  1903 district East Ham.  My grandmother Florence M bn 1901 is also there!

Thank you! thank  you! thank you! 
The money I have saved will feed my cat for almost a week and in return I'll visit the Suffolk Records Office and do some reciprocal research.
