The National Registration Act, 1939, established a National Register “for the issue of identity cards.” This population count took place on 29 September 1939, and provided information for “all persons in the United Kingdom [United Kingdom, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Isle of Man] at the appointed time” and “all persons entering or born in the United Kingdom after that time.” 40 million people were registered in some 7,000 transcript books. These provide a viable census substitute for the 1941 census. | The National Registration Act, 1939, established a National Register “for the issue of identity cards.” This population count took place on 29 September 1939, and provided information for “all persons in the United Kingdom [United Kingdom, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Isle of Man] at the appointed time” and “all persons entering or born in the United Kingdom after that time.” 40 million people were registered in some 7,000 transcript books.
