SUMMARY:1939 Register
DESCRIPTION:The England and Wales 1939 Register was devised to produce 40 million Identity Cards during World War II, when rationing was introduced. The information recorded provides a huge bridge between the last published census (1921) and 1939. People were more ‘honest’ in their information-giving, providing exact date of birth, as they wanted their allocated rations. From 1948, the Register was used as the National Health Service Register, and was updated until 1991, giving women’s new surnames when they got married, handwritten above their name. The online UK 1939 Register is a relatively unknown, but very useful tool for genealogists.\nThis talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members.
