It’s strange though that some more recent deaths have been picked up and the record opened
Our elder sister died in 2002 and her record is open
We were both evacuated to Kent and were billeted together

Both the couple we lived with and my sister are open on the the 1939 register

Sister was born in 1931 and the foster parents in between
1911 and 1920

Thankfully I am still the closed record !!!!

I stayed in touch with them right up to their deaths and am still in touch with extended family

As I’m the only one interested in family history I do know no-one has requested my sisters record to be opened so some updates must have happened
