I have finally got round to looking at these registers on FMP I did a search for the road where I was born. I thought my parents had moved there before 1939. How wrong that turned out to be. I did know where they lived before so checked that address and they were there. The preview gave both my parents names and said there were 4 other occupants listed as all locked (meaning you wont be able to find their names). I wouldn't know who these are but at a guess would say 3 of them have died. Anyway I looked at the address and each house number under the preview tab. Each house gave the name of the head of household plus the birth year. In addition it gave the number of occupants whether some of them are locked or not. Using FreeBMD you may be able to determine who the other occupants are. So Adrian if you can look at the site and find the name you are looking for. Provided that name is the head of household you will get the birth year without having to pay anything. Like you I have not paid anything.
