  1. Thank you John. Another great resource for confirming residence of my Coulson family that came over from Canada and bought into the Steel Coulson beer company of Glasgow.

  2. Is this the yearly update to the 1939 Register to remove redactions? If so, they still haven’t caught up to the fact that one of my uncles died in 2016 and one of my aunts in 2012…yet last year, they opened my other aunt who died in 2016. Oh well, I know they’re under the black lines.
