* Redacted entries in the 1939

[StevieSteve]

Has anyone ideas of dealing with redacted entries in the 1939 Register set

There are 2 scenarios

1 You think you know who the entry is

2 You don't


For 1/ take my grandparents

There they are in the house I visited many times. There's a redacted entry. My Dad was 12 at the time. Of course it's him. Unless it's not. Unless someone sends in his death cert (I live within access to Kew, so it won't be me under the current rules), then it won't automatically open until 2027. What's a good way of recording this?

For 2/ take my great grandparents

There they are in the pub I know they ran before it was blown up. There's my great uncle too. And a redacted entry. it's not either of their other offspring, they're accounted for. So, again, how best to deal with this?

Just notes?

TIA

I suggest you create Sources for both entries, with a Text From Source transcript and the redacted Media image, just as normal.
Add Notes to explain your assumptions similar to your posting here.
Add a Census Event for each Individual and cite the related Source for each one.
Set the Assessment appropriately, i.e. Questionable for the redacted persons, etc.
Add Citation Notes to explain the Assessment.
If any new evidence comes to light, then the Sources can be easily updated and the Notes corrected, etc.

You could use Ancestral Sources via the Ancestral Sources Data Entry Plugin in Census mode, with the new 1939 Register Template and modified Census Event Sentence Template discussed in other postings.
