Learning from inaccuracies on the 1939 Register
Like many others I have been using the 1939 Register. Most of my English relatives are descendants of my mother’s Aunt Janet (Mrs Swan). Aunt Janet was the surviving daughter of my great-grandfather Alexander Boyd’s first wife. She was having her family while her stepmother, Alexander’s second wife, was having hers. In the process of researching my family, I have come across inaccuracies in the register, and thought it would be useful to share three examples with fellow readers.
