Free to explore online until 8 May, Findmypast marks the upcoming 80 year anniversary of Victory in Europe by opening the 1939 Register.
For each person living in England and Wales (and some from the Isle of Man and Channel Islands), it typically includes: name, full date of birth, marital status, occupation, and address. Updates were made after 29 September 1939, mostly for name changes due to marriage.
Scotland compiled its own version not yet publicly available.
