1939 Register - tape obscuring dates of birth (Can anyone modify to reveal?)
« on: Sunday 01 October 23 09:39 BST (UK) »
Hi,

The Webster family (including Elizabeth - the sister of my gt-gt-grandfather) are shown as living at No 27 in the attached snippet from the 1939 register. Unfortunately, there is a piece of sellotape obscuring the obscuring dates of birth for Elizabeth and her husband William.

Can anyone modify the image to reveal?

Thanks for reading
Callear/Gallear and a growing list of (mis)spellings

One day my family history will become Callear!!

FindMyPast transcriptions - Elizabeth date of birth = blank.  William = 21 September 1880.
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.

I'm struggling to see anything for William except 21st, and that's after tweaking it a bit.

For Elizabeth I'm fairly confident that the month is Aug, and there might be a 3 above it, but I'm not sure. I can't read the year, though.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Is this the family in 1911?

William Thomas is 38 yrs and Elizabeth 41 yrs so that might help you get a bit closer to their birth dates.

My old eyes can make out nothing there
Perhaps someone else sees something?
