I estimate he was born before 1900 because I do know roughly how old my grandmother was, although because she died young, aged 39 in 1937 I cannot look for her on the register and I also do not know her origins, slightly less common name but three possible first names! Emily/Helen/Nellie Cunningham. He also had a very common name, only made less common by the fact that I know his middle name.

In the case of the 1939 Register, however, advances in how we redact have meant that rather than a blanket blackout on all the records, we’re able to show you the records of people born 100 years and one day ago or more. In the case of censuses, restrictions over the release of sensitive data are enshrined in law, meaning that all of the individuals listed are unavailable to view for a set period after the census being taken. This means that some redaction has to take place before we can make the details of the Register public online. When you are able to explore the 1939 Register later this year, you’ll probably notice that a number of individuals’ information has been redacted from the records, meaning that when viewing a household, there may be one or more members whose information is unavailable to view.Īlthough the Register isn’t a census, and therefore isn’t subject to the rules and restrictions that censuses are, personal information about living people is protected under Data Protection Regulations.
