Missing on 1939 register

[TymH]

Thank you all for your help. I have no idea how I got Walter James...

However, unless that redacted entry is him, there isn't an entry for him in 1939.

There *is* a redacted line above her but as he died in 1961, surely this can’t be him or it would be un-redacted.

In this case the year he died has nothing to do with being redacted as he was born well over 100 years ago.  If that is him then it is just a mistake and you can report an error without a death cert.  However I noticed awhile ago that FindMyPast have removed all the reporting links so they may not be able to do anything at the moment until they are back to working at full capacity.

Reporting links are now working on FindMyPast they are on the transcript page, I only noticed them the other day so possibly a recent addition though I may just have missed them before.

I would like to add that it is worth noting when searching for children on the 1939 Register that they may have been evacuated and may not be at the address you thought they should be at.

Thanks all. Will look to report the redaction.

Thanks for the note Crumblie; he was 54 at the time... 😉

THe links on FindMyPast only seem to be for correcting existing entries with alternate data. Can't see anyting that says "this should not be closed"... I've sent them an email...

If you think a record should be open and you have proof that the person has died,you can click on the button to the right of the page which says "open this record"

It is quite easy to miss this if you are looking at the household transcript and have not selected the closed record as the equivalent button alongside an open record is giving the option to close it.
