The Transcript Books (what we refer to as the 1939 Register) were created from the household schedules. Details completed by the person filling out the household schedule were copied into these books by the enumerator. 3/

Does anyone have an ‘Aliens Order 1920, Certificate of Registration’ (as shown below) issued between 1939-1952 that they would be happy to share with me? If the person was born prior to 1924, or you have proof of death, that would be even better! Thanks very much! #Help #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Have you read my brief article on the Ministry of Justice’s response to their consultation on the storage and retention of original will documents? You’ll find it in this month’s @federationfhs.bsky.social Bulletin. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Is anyone interested in trading in any of their books and media? I’ve used WeBuyBooks and have had a good experience… you scan the barcodes in their App. I’ve made £47 so far. I can invite you via email to a sign up offer. I believe we both get £5. (Books pictured not for sale.)

It’s cold and frosty here in #Wisbech, Cambridgeshire today, but the sun is shining! I’m off on my local Ramblers UK #Wellbeing and #Mindfulness walk today. I recently did the training to become a walk leader. There are lots of other #RamblersUK walks nationwide, so take a look at their website!
