A few hours ago I received the link from FMP to watch Estelle's presentation.
This also includes the Q & A I posted yesterday.
Perhaps this link has been received by those who watched the presentation?
Jus' askin'.

A response received from find my past to another query from me:

"You will occasionally find that some people who died prior to 1991 have closed records.

This is down to the fact that not every death was added to the Register by the NHS.

Unfortunately this is out of our control, however if you submit evidence of death we or The National Archives will open the record for you."

I got a link yesterday Barry. Haven't watched it yet but intend to do so.
I read the transcript though. :-D

"This is down to the fact that not every death was added to the Register by the NHS. "
That's interesting to learn, Joy.
It is a monumental task to update it ... not to mention thousands of deceased folk who emigrated will never have their entry opened.
I have to confess I didn't even know about this 1939 Register until recently when I received word about it from FMP.

(Since I have been using it, FMP have bombarded me with e-mails!
I learned the hard way surveys that will take 'a couple of minutes' last at least 10 or more!)

The added bonus of the register certainly is the person's date of birth - hopefully it IS the truth!
The register has also set me back years with one person whose family - all dead! - gave me wrong birth information!
I feel like saying much more than "Doh!"
Good Game! Good Game!

Von, I quickly had a peek at the link which is a repeat of Wednesday's. (Natch!)

Thanks for the drop box link Barry

I've read through it all and cannot find an answer to a question I have

Does anyone know if I can open a record of a man that died in WW11 as you can't get a death certificate from the GRO?

Edit: I've emailed FMP and asked
