1939 Register and a Gillingham Family
« on: Monday 08 February 21 12:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,

I am researching a number of people who lived at times in the Gillingham area.
There was a marriage in 1948 between a Mr D Mabon and Miss M Bishop in Chatham. The 1939 Register has her living in Norton Barracks in Worcestershire and her name has been amended in red ink to Mabon.
Did they change the 1939 Register to include weddings that were almost 10 years later than when it was taken?
I can also find no trace of a Mr D Mabon.
Thanks, Paul

Yes, the register was used as a basis for NHS records, so you see marriages for years after the original compilation
All census look up transcriptions are Crown Copyright http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

The Register was continually updated until the 1990's.
Just as long as the NHS knew of the changes!

Looks like she died 2012 Medway and he died 2020 in the same area.

Comberton,
Thanks for this.

I have access to FindMyPast and cannot find any birth records for D Mabon despite having his exact DoB (26th May 1926)?

There's a potential birth in 1923?
Only birth I can see in England or Wales.

Yes I have seen that one but the DoB is correct as May 1926?
With no other references (1939 Register etc) it leads me to think that he was not born in England or Wales.

You say that you have a date of birth of 26 May 1926 - where did that come from?
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
