Thanks greyghost and ArgyllGran for your offers of looking things up on FMP and/or
Ancestry.

It was useful and comforting (!) to have a look at the 1939 census to see the household of the Dunnells, and to confirm that the daughter was still with them.

I have nothing specific at the moment too look up on Ancestry, I wonder why GR doesn't include it in their research tools and make it available to all members, as Find my Past seems to own the site.

Something to do with costs, no doubt.

There's a huge amount of stuff on FMP (and on Ancestry) which isn't on GR - not just the 1939 Register.

For one thing, GR only has records from England and Wales.

Both FMP and Ancestry offer a 14-day free trial, if you want to have a browse and see which one you like before subscribing.
If you decide not to go ahead with a sub after that, just remember to cancel in good time before the 14 days are up, or the sub will be taken automatically from your bank account.
