1939 Register RED LINED entry?
« on: Saturday 13 January 24 19:33 GMT (UK) »
What is the Red Line implying?

This  is a bit of a puzzle to me as the entry below, seems accurate but is red lined with the tag [See below]

I would like to find Margaret earlier perhaps on an Electoral Roll or on the 1921 census.

I believe that I have an accurate death in Devizes, Wilts and burial in Bath, Somerset. and a Dorset electoral roll 1961-1962 in Cattistock.

Name   Margaret Verdon
Gender   Female
Marital Status   Single
Birth Date   15 Jul. 1897
Residence Date   1939
Address   West Field Carrington Rd
Residence Place   Spalding, Lincolnshire (Parts of Holland), England
Occupation   Lcc Voluntary Helper
====
Deaths 1989   (>99%)
VERDON    MARGARET    15JY1897    DEVIZES    23   1680

Normally the continued entries would just be noted as 'see page XX' in the next column, but this particular clerk has chosen to also cross through the names.  The only reason it says 'see below' is because her continuation is on the same page as the original entry and not on a later page.  All of the continuations are usually on the last page/s of the schedule.

Continuations were sometimes necessary because they ran out of room in the last column which recorded their medical records.

One of the redacted entries on that page will be her continuation and it has been redacted by mistake.

She died in 1989 so her death cert should record a place of birth if it was known by the informant.

Although I can't see a record of Margaret before 1939, there is this person:-

VERDON, ESPERANCE DOROTHY MARGUERITE mmn COLLIER 
GRO Reference: 1897 S Quarter in BRENTFORD Volume 03A Page 159

Her parents were Maurice Pierre Verdon and Lizzie Jessie Colquhoun Collier.

The last record of her is in 1921, when she was a teacher at a convent in Herefordshire.

In 1939, Margaret was a volunteer helper and Dorothea Anstruther was a teacher.
