There were two forms of protest.In the first, the women (or their husbands) refused to fill in the form, often recording their protest on the household schedule. In the second, women evaded the census by staying away from their home for the whole night, and so did not lodge their protest on the household schedule. In both cases, any details relating to individual women in the households will be missing from the census. For the family historian, a refusal to fill in the form (accompanied by a protest statement) at least registers the presence of a woman, or women, in the household. But the women who evaded the count by leaving their home for the night are entirely untraceable via the census. The exact number of women who boycotted the census is not known, though some people have estimated that it may be as many as several thousand.DC Thomson Family History service provided to MyHeritage members by agreement with The National Archives, London.

• Source: S500013 1939 Register of England & Wales Publication: MyHeritage The 1939 Register was conducted in ways like a census and includes similar information. One important difference for genealogists is the full date of birth is recorded in the 1939 Register for each person whereas the traditional censuses conducted in England and Wales only records each person?s age. The information in this collection was gathered under the authority of the National Registration Act of 1939 ? an emergency measure at the start of the Second World War. 65,000 enumerators delivered the forms ahead of the official registration day. On Friday, 29 September 1939 (National Registration Day) householders were required to record the requested information on the supplied forms. On the following Sunday and Monday local enumerators visited every household, checked and gathered the completed forms, and issued identity cards to each of the residents in the household. Of the 42 million individuals who are recorded in this collection, 8.2 million records remain closed due to privacy protection requirements, and about 700,000 additional records appear without full names. Records are closed for those individuals who were born less than 100 years ago unless matched to a registereddeath record. These closed records will be made public and added to this online collection on a yearly basis going forward. * The 1921 Census has not yet been released and is expected to be availableonline in 2022. The 1951 Census is closed until 2052.

• Source: S500015 England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1837-2005 Publication: MyHeritage Civil registration ? the government recording of births, marriages, and deaths?began in England and Wales on 1 July 1837. Local registration districts had jurisdiction for recording civil events, but were required to send copies of their records each quarter to the General Register Office (GRO) in London. The GRO created indexes to these records which are organized by event, year, and quarter,and thereunder alphabetically by surname. The index provides the name of the bride or groom, registration district, and reference information (volume and page numbers). Brides and grooms are both included in the index, but are listed separately under their own individual entries.Information provided in the index can be used to order a copy of the person?s marriage certificate for a fee from theGRO through their Certificate Ordering Service. Depending on the year, full marriage certificates may provide: marriage date and place, names of the bride and groom, their ages, marital status, professions, and residences. Information about the bride?s and groom?s fathers ? names, occupations, and whether deceased?may also be listed. A marriage record typically indicates whether the marriage ceremony took place in a church and if so, the denomination.Note: For years where images of the index are available, be sure to consult the image to verify the information presented to you. Sometimes errors happen during the transcription process. For example, a "5" may have inadvertently been transcribed as a "3". Since there is a fee for ordering certificate copies from the GRO, it is especially important to make sure all reference numbers are correct before placing an order.Search tip: If an individual had multiple given names, sometimes only one or two of these names was recorded in the index. In addition, some of the given names may have been recorded by initials only. If you?re having trouble locating someone in the index, try searching by any of the individual?s known given names, initials, or nicknames.
