Research Notes

The 1939 Register transcript page that Fred’s Ancestry index entry points to does not show Fred or any other Clafton. The index shows that his entry is line 1, but this line is blacked out (officially closed). His parents are the last two entries on the previous page, lines 43 & 44.

So it appears that Fred’s index entry exists, although his transcript entry may be closed. This profile for Fred has been created from the index entry. Clafton-1 11:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
