In 2015 | In 2015 Findmypast released the 1939 register to the public. It was a registration of the population of England and Wales on September 29th, 1939, taken for administrative purposes due to the outbreak of World War II. <br> This Register was to be a critical tool in coordinating the war effort at home. It would be used to issue identity cards, organize rationing and more. <br> | ||
The Register lists full names, full dates of birth, occupations, and addresses. The register was maintained in some form up to 1991 so changes of name upon marriage and subsequent deaths may also be noted. <br> | The Register lists full names, full dates of birth, occupations, and addresses.
