Birth dates were sometimes entered incorrectly. The year might have been incorrect, but there are cases where the day and month of birth were also updated at a later date. These details would have been updated when information was received contrary to the original registration. /End

It was likely the National Registration Act that laid down the legislation on how to deal with fraudulent claims (e.g. trying to avoid conscription). I’ve seen cases where people even registered false births after 29 Sep 1939 to gain more rations, so fraud was an issue. 5/

I’ve seen instructions about households ensuring the enumerator had somewhere to sit so they could complete the ID cards, but there was nothing to say they required evidence for date of birth. 4/

The Transcript Books (what we refer to as the 1939 Register) were created from the household schedules. Details completed by the person filling out the household schedule were copied into these books by the enumerator. 3/

They used the Enumeration District code, the schedule number and the number within the household to create the ID code. 2/

@ryangenealogy.bsky.social The identity cards for individuals recorded in the 29 Sep 1939 enumeration were completed using the household schedules. The enumerator was instructed to fill in the ID cards when the household schedules were collected. 1/

I hope you enjoyed it! 😁

I walked past the V&A
yesterday and - for the first time - noticed the bomb damage. There is a plaque that reads in part: THE DANAGE TO THESE WALLS IS THE RESULT OF ENEMY BOMBING DURING THE BLITZ OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945 #WW2 #History

Also, check out my dad’s artwork on the wall in the shop. Turn right just before you go up the stairs and it’s on the wall directly to your left. I think it’s a new piece showing the Disraeli monument.

Have fun! Be sure to check out the Movie Room upstairs and I think they’ve got a new photographic exhibition in the room on the left as you go in downstairs.

Chilterns Stories 'Chilterns Stories' is a collection of tales inspired by the diverse cultural and natural heritage of the Chilterns National Landscape.

Absolutely! Straw plaiting was another cottage industry that the Woodlanders Lives and Landscapes project looked at. We had the Hidden Hands exhibition at Wycombe Museum and there’s a book too: www.chilterns.org.uk/visit-chilte...

There are never enough hours in the day!

This was the blog I was reflecting on when I was preparing my lacemakers talk. I had read it a few years ago, but it’s great to be reminded of its content!

Yes, came to say this! 😉

Thanks, Helen! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁

I think that will involve multiple archive deep dives! BUT I have had a couple of people contact me in connection to the family. 😁

I’ve had some lovely messages from listeners… 😊 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Not long to go, Julie! 😀

I've been finalising my talk on 'Lacemaking: A Cottage Industry' for @sogorg.bsky.social this Saturday 22nd February at 2pm online. There's still time to book! Use this link: members.sog.org.uk/events/67856... #Lacemaking #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Might also be of interest. Do you have anymore details?

Yes, that's it.

Does anyone have an ‘Aliens Order 1920, Certificate of Registration’ (as shown below) issued between 1939-1952 that they would be happy to share with me? If the person was born prior to 1924, or you have proof of death, that would be even better! Thanks very much! #Help #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Always! Looks like court records… It’s been too long since getting my hands dirty! I’m suffering from archive withdrawal.

It all depends on what your evidence is… but Robert Cushman’s signature is very different. I’ve only pulled this from a website without checking, but the handwriting style is correct for the time period.

I can’t paste it all in one comment, but this bit from the above link helps sum it up.
