1939 Register on Ancestry

Great News

I've checked out a few of my lot, will have a good look when I get a chance.

I'm not surprised that my wife's Father record is closed as he died here in Australia, 2 of his siblings who died in the past couple of years in Warwickshire are also still closed.

Spotted the email at lunchtime today and wished the afternoon away until I could get out of work and do some research!

Interesting finds looking at my father and uncle - both born in the same month - my father (dead for over 2 years) can not be viewed yet my uncle who is very much alive can be viewed???!!!

It seems the Ancestry images are very out of date, numerous redactions that have been opened are still redacted on Ancestry.

Agree but in my families case it's the other way round! My uncle age 86 and alive is visible

Is that the same on FindMyPast - is he shown on that as well?

I agree with Guy, the image on Ancestry that shows my grandfather is the one that was originally there when FindMyPast first had the 1939 register. It is now different with my grandmother and 3 uncles' details open.

My friend's uncle who died in 2016 and which FindMyPast opened when I supplied a copy of the death certificate is open on Ancestry and one of his sisters who died last July and was, quite correctly, closed when requested her brother's entry be opened, is now open on both Ancestry and FindMyPast.  So there seems to be some anomalies on which data has been updated on the Ancestry copy and which hasn't.  Not sure where FindMyPast have confirmed the death as we've not submitted a request for it to be opened although my friend does have a copy of the death certificate.

I haven't looked at FindMyPast recently but when the 1939 was first released my uncle was NOT visible there yet he is now on Ancestry and is ALIVE.
My aunt was also NOT originally visible on FindMyPast but is now on ancestry (she died around 1995)

I found a woman on the Ancestry 1939 register that I could not find on FindMyPast. The wife of my 3xgreat uncle. Not found the uncle yet but maybe he was abroad. She said she was married but hubby not with her.

Hello BugBear

Sorry for the delay in replying - have checked out wife's details on this register (Ancestry) and she has been included in the next household even though the original is clear and legible.
