NOTES:
The 1939 Register provides a snapshot of the civilian population of England and Wales just after the outbreak of the Second World War. As the 1931 census for England and Wales was destroyed by fire during the Second World War and no census was taken in 1941, the Register provides the most complete survey of the population of England and Wales between 1921 and 1951, making it an invaluable resource for family, social and local historians.
The 1939 Register was taken on 29 September 1939. The information was used to produce identity cards and, once rationing was introduced in January 1940, to issue ration books. Information in the Register was also used to administer conscription and the direction of labour, and to monitor and control the movement of the population caused by military mobilisation and mass evacuation.
The Register has a number of blacked-out lines [= Record Closed], indicating that the record is unavailable because the individual may still be alive. The 1939 national register is constantly being updated and entries 'opened', either under the 100-year rule or against evidence of death.
There are eight pages in the 1939 Register relating all or in part to the modern-day Parish of Wimpole, each listing 44 individuals per page. Pages Seven and Page Eight are below.
The columns shown below are (left to right):
- Address.
- Name.
- Gender (Male, Female).
- Date of Birth. (DD/MM/YYYY format)
- Marital Status (Married, Widow, Widowed, Single).
- Occupation.
Any other information/comments additional to the Register are shown using [italic text within square brackets] mostly in the Occupation column.
Modern-day addresses (where different and identifiable) are added in [red text within brackets] in the Occupation column.
