1939 Register Questions

[Kit]

I've not taken in a lot of the conversations about this as I thought I had years before it would become part of the subscription so apologies if this has been discussed.

When it first came out I did a free search for my Grandma although I know her record will be closed as she died here and they wont know that. I'm sure I got some sort of result and I worked out she was living with her sister.

Now I can't get any results although her sister has a closed record living with her.

Has something changed in the results they give?

Next question - Grandma would be 100 in a months time so will her record automatically be opened shortly after that date?

Now for the really clever researchers.

My Grandma's aunt Ada Ethel Hickenbotham is living with her husband, 2 closed records, probably her children, and a woman called Ada Dawson born 17 March 1874, widow.

Ada Hickenbotham's maiden name is Dawson so I'm thinking the other Ada must be an in-law as she is widowed. None of Ada's brothers had wives called Ada and they were also all alive in 1939. Ada's father was the only son so Ada (Snr) is not an aunt. Ada's grandfather (Jonathan) has one brother (John) I can't trace but I feel like he died young.

So who is Ada (Snr)?
