Hi One-Namers Everywhere The first family I checked this morning in the 1939 Register is odd, there was Jonathan LAWS, a LNER Railway platelayer, and Margaret his wife and Ada a daughter also a 2 yr old child Ronald LAWS living in Newcastle upon Tyne, so I looked up Ronalds birth on Ancestry and found a death registration for him dated Oct 1937 with the birth date of 8 Jul 1937 which fits with 1939 register if he were living, and age of 50 perhaps that was 50 days. So how come a child born and died in 1937 is listed as 50 unless perhaps he lived for 50 days and how did he appear in the 1939 register 2 years later? Makes you very wary.
