Accuracy of 1939 Register Added Notes?

[juliebeg]

While browsing I came across an unknown daughter of one of my distant relations (I'd thought they'd only had children that died in infancy).  Checked her out and she is definitely theirs :-)  However theres a handwritten note giving her married name which is fine BUT when I checked this the spelling of her first name is different in the records.   I can find an alternative marriage with her name spelt correctly to someone else.  So how much reliance can I place on the note?  (Both marriages took place in the war years)

Opinions /advice please

Does the first name in the 1939 look like it could be a shortened version or a pet name?  Is the date of birth correct for her?

Usually when a married surname is indicated there is also a date on which the marriage took place.  Did you see a date on the 1939?

The only way to be sure of which is correct is to obtain the cert.  Depends on how important it is to you to have that information.

Thanks Girl Guide
On the 39 REg it has her as Joan.  Additional notes say Marjorie Joan which is what she is registered as at birth.  Unfortunately the date on the marriage note is illegible.   The registration of that noted marriage is for a Marjery

I just wondered really how much weight we can attach to the added notes and when were they added.   These particular notes appear to be in green ink (Biro?)when other notes on the page are clearly made by a fountain pen

Would you be willing to give me her surname, date or year of birth and where she is living?  I can then have a look myself and see what I think from it.

Green ink for fountain pens was available well before biros came on the scene.
And red, blue and turquoise!

This is not always the case - the date next to my mother's married-name-to-be was 18.3.46 but she married my father 31 Dec 1945.

Thanks everyone

Girl Guide has taken the trouble to look it up and sorted me out.    Thanks again

I believe the date is when the adjustment was made to the register
