From today until Monday, November 4, Findmypast has “opened the vault,” making it possible to search the 1939 Register of England and Wales for free.
Each person’s record contains:
- Name
- Full date of birth
- Address
- Marital status
- Occupation
This free offer is the third in a four-weekend run-up to Remembrance Day. Each weekend, there is a different collection made completely free to use, culminating in the final Remembrance weekend, November 8 to 11, when all of Findmypast’s record collections, including the 1921 Census, will be freely available.
The campaign is running with the slogan No Story Left Behind. Findmypast hopes to encourage more people to discover the men and women who served in their family.
