The 1939 Register was taken on 29th September 1939 and were originally taken as part of the registration of the population at the beginning of World War 2. They were used for the issuing of rationing coupons. The 1939 registers only cover the civil population; any individual who had volunteered for the armed forces are not included in the registers. At the end of World War 2 and the setting up of the National Health Service these registers were used as the basis of the registration of individuals for the NHS. As a result these registers were updated until the early 1990s, when they were computerised. The updates included; changes of name, due to marriage; an indication that individuals had died. Changes of address were not recorded in the registers.
Not all the entries in the registers are open (i.e can be viewed). The only open entries are of those people who would now be over 100 years of age and those individuals who are recorded as having died in the registers.
