Skipman Posted 19 August , 2016 Share Posted 19 August , 2016 (edited) Noticed these on ancestry tonight, no doubt useful to some. What exactly are these and are there more to come?

ss002d6252 Posted 19 August , 2016 Share Posted 19 August , 2016 (edited) They seem to be the records created by the local authorities on the back of the national registration act 1915 - as far as I'm aware the order went out that they were to be destroyed but clearly some examples have survived. There was no central collection of the actual cards as far as I'm aware. When a person changed area they had to re-register - at least some of the records seem to be the registers for those details. EDIT From a look it all seems to be the registers for people who had moved in to the area - I didn't see any actual cards.
