Since you very kindly provided a link to one of my blog posts, here is a link to the first one I wrote on the subject, which has some information about the 1915 register and why it didn't work as well as it might have done. http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/1939-register-census-census/Audrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109060807297085410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-25814644441508228502015-11-05T18:28:48.488+00:002015-11-05T18:28:48.488+00:00The citation in the form of the full TNA Reference...The citation in the form of the full TNA Reference (starting RG 101) appears on the transcription page.Audrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109060807297085410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-83623300201335985802015-11-04T19:59:08.346+00:002015-11-04T19:59:08.346+00:00The 1915 Register for England and Wales also no lo...The 1915 Register for England and Wales also no longer exists - the evidence is on one of the message boards or lists that I read but don't ask me which one!

Several comments:
On ...I just found 15 households. Several comments:<br />On the plus side - they contain actual birth dates. And I found spouses of several cousins. The search engine is OK, but I found it easier to sort by the given name. I also had more success just using the exact surname.<br />On the minus side - the cost, of course. It is way too high for what is provided.. One of my finds spread over two pages. I could see the second page, but the download kept giving me the first page. There are no birth places so sometimes I couldn't tell if I had the right family. Navigation generally is awkward. From a result screen I couldn't find the FAQs. And when I did, they were general findmypast FAQs, with very little that was specific to the register. There weren't any to answer my questions. I couldn't find any guide re how to read the results. There were codes that didn't make sense to me. Everything I see focuses on how the register came to be and was processed, but very little on how to use it. And I'm spoiled by Ancestry and Family Search, but I missed the automatic citations that they provide. .Grandma Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826836436719529255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-28876258016167874492015-11-03T18:34:56.501+00:002015-11-03T18:34:56.501+00:00Did anyone ask why there was no detail about the p...Did anyone ask why there was no detail about the payment method released until the Friday before release, ie 30 October?<br />Or why FMP updated its T&Cs over the same weekend to such a significant degree?<br />Why FMP reduced the life-span of credits from 365 days to 90 days, again over the same weekend - even to the point of disabling the facility to buy credits very soon or at the same time as the announcement emails were distributed?<br />Why the 15 household bundle is exempt from the proffered discounts?<br />Why the qualification of the records NOT open is in light text underneath and outside of the box containing inaccurate claims as to which records are available to view on one of their screens?<br />Why the main page (http://www.findmypast.co.uk/1939register) states, again inaccurately "41 million lives recorded in one day at the outbreak of World War II Only at Findmypast" with no qualification of the fact that c14 million records \are NOT immediately available:<br /><br /> The most comprehensive record set ever released. <br /> Unlock a household and get all of the following.<br /><br /> Full Household Transcript<br /> Inc. full dates of birth, occupations, address & updated names<br /> <br /> Original Image<br /> A scan of the original register page<br /><br />Again on http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/1939-register?_ga=1.126946317.1463252744.1442909432 there is no obvious reference to some of the records not being immediately available, and you have to go right to the bottom of the page to the section on "What happens if my ancestor's record is closed".<br /><br />I will be generous and suggest that they are being unintentionally misleading, even if I think they know exactly what they are doing.<br />Margaret Hirstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-70603556589976645272015-11-03T17:50:53.257+00:002015-11-03T17:50:53.257+00:00Not sure about the English and Welsh returns, but ...Not sure about the English and Welsh returns, but the Scottish ones certainly haven't survived - see http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/national-register - the page states "A register of adults aged between 15 and 65 was compiled under the provisions of the National Register Act 1915. The Registrar General for Scotland held the registration forms centrally in Edinburgh. Maintenance of the register created a lot of extra work for his staff and for local registrars and it was not continued after the end of the First World War."Chris Patonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-75988602898170194462015-11-03T16:36:59.967+00:002015-11-03T16:36:59.967+00:00Hello
