Does anyone know if you can still apply to have a closed record opened on the 1939 register? After my Dad died in 2006 I applied to have his record opened (death certificate required), now I would like to see my Mum’s record too (she passed away in February). I can’t seem to find any option to do this on the Find My Past website. Thanks :-) |

Thanks everyone, unfortunately I don’t know where my Mum was living at the time of the register so I can’t even find the closed record. She and her younger sister had been moved from the family home to live in the country, possibly near Morpeth in Northumberland and neither could remember the name of the family they lived with. |

We've had this problem with my mother-in-law's record. She died in 1994 and we have the death certificate but the closed record we thought was her turned out to be a cousin whose death cert we also had. My mother-in-law was only fifteen in 1939 so we thought she'd be at home. We now have no idea where she was so can't have the record opened. We're hoping that the hundred year rule will see her make an appearance there in 2023. Obviously, this isn't an option for you. |

Shirley, no my aunt is still alive, now 87, Mum was 93 when she passed in February. It was my aunt who told me that they were moved to somewhere near Morpeth, Mum couldn’t or didn’t want to remember. |

This sounds as if you don't need to know where your mum was living in 1939. |

Thanks ArgyllGran, I will look into this. I recall doing something similar to have my father’s record opened, however I don’t remember there being a charge to do so. |
