Q for those of you who have paid for 1939 Register pages

[Merry]

I've not paid for any pages yet, but am trying to organise the records I have found surrounding the ones which are made up of part of my grandparents family but with the wrong names (don't ask!!), so that I can try and buy the right document.

I just need to know how the data on the forms is organised. Is it one household to a page or as many as can be fitted in? Do households run across page breaks? What's the maximum number of individuals to a page? Anything else that might help me?!!

Have emailed you one of mine Merry.

[Margaret in Burton]

As many as fit on the page. You get the neighbours too. If you family goes onto the next page then yes, you get that too.

[Merry]

That's great, thank you Tom and Marg

This morning when I click the preview button for an individual the next (Household) page no longer shows the Piece and Item numbers etc at the bottom. On some occasions if I look carefully it flashes up for a millisecond but then vanishes. Is that happening for others too?

[JayG]

Same here Merry.

Yes it is gone.

I think they've realised that you can work out who is in which household because the numbers run consecutively, which gives extra information without spending money.

Which is what I was doing on Wednesday.

How annoying.

For once by luck I had actually finished collecting my data last night and was only checking something this morning. You would think they would have realised what people might do with the numbers before releasing the records really.

How sneaky and annoying! Luckily I have done my main family. The question now is whether I part with any money and view the records...

I will probably be able to write a thesis on 1616A/006 by the time I've finished, but I don't think it's going to help me find my grandparents!
