Hi all

Was looking for a part of my family on the 1939 reg

Found who I was looking for

But when I looked it said

Household closed

So all the info was closed

Can anyone tell me why please

Hi Littlelegs

As far as I know, it could be that the people may still be alive.

I think when a record is marked closed it means the people concerned are still alive.

Well the women I am looking for was born in 1887 so I don't think she will still be alive

Hi Sylvia how are you

Thank you j

Have you looked at the image to check that she hasn't been ignored? Sometimes original has been damaged making it difficult to read. In those instances, the transcriber has to write what they see, not what they think.

If you have her DC, or possibly her BC, you can request the entry to be opened.

I can only see the free bit but it says household closed

If you give us her name we can look at the image ......... I have had at least one where the free bit said closed, but the record had actually been opened.

I was wondering if I could send someone the children's names

And see where they could be

Some of the children were old enough to marry but have looked on free BMD and could not find any marriages

Think I found some of them in 1939

Harry wyer born 1919/1920

Irene 1921

Ronald 1923

Gordon 1925

All born Nottingham

Would some kind person have a look on the 1939 reg for me

Thank you so so much

Saying goodnight now will look back tomorrow

Attenborough (Black) Household (3 People) 49 Serlby Rise , Nottingham C.B., Nottinghamshire, England

Elsie Attenborough (Black) 28 Mar 1891 Unpaid Domestic Duties
Dennis Black 03 Mar 1926 At School
Harry Wyer 21 Dec 1919 Labourer - Boiler Cowm

The last word is NOT Cowm, but it is indecipherable!

Elsie is a Widow, so it looks as though Harry is lodging with her. She is Black on the image, but later married a Mr Attenborough
