A few weeks ago information was given as to how to obtain a persons details from the 1939 Registration records at a cost As I am thinking about getting this report for my late father who died in 1950 does anyone know what the extent of the information is available and does it include details of that persons family ?> Thank you Michael McDonnell

You will get their address and their job and their date of birth or any combination of those depending on what is on the database. I didn't get my father's details because he wasn't at home with his parents. I have no idea where he might have been since he was still a child. However, I did get my grandmother's address even though she wasn't at home with my grandfather at the time. She was staying with her sister. Prior to there being a fee charged for information, it was possible to ask for details of a specific address. I don't know if this is still possible or not. It may not as the household may include still living people and they won't give out that information. They state on the site they will only deal with requests for information for those people who are deceased. They go on to state that a death certificate may not be acceptable proof of death!! I would guess what they mean is they need to see the death registered in the GRO indices. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
