Hi, I was born 1944 and given a NHS number that reflected the year or date on which I was born so was easy for me to remember. However at some point it was changed, can't remember exactly when but after I left school, so don't think now it would be of any use for family research purposes. From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds.
