Sidami ............

I noticed that you asked if "this site was free?"

The 1939 Register is available with a sub to FindMyPast or to Ancestry ........ FMP had it first, ancestry got it fairly recently and is doing its own transcription of the register.

It is possible to find different results on FMP vs Ancestry.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Yes, sorry - before I refreshed the page and saw that you'd done it too!

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

There are two closed records with them on Ancestry - maybe he's one of them.

He's not readily jumping out of the 1939 results otherwise.
