Have a look at this page. It explains what a creed register is:-

Scroll down the page a bit. It's a record of peoples creed or religion.

Do you know if the relevant districts would hold records from the 1930's please.

All I know is that the creed register for the Southwark Workhouse in the 1870's is kept at the London Metropolitan Archives, so I would imagine that if there are records that have survived for the establishment you are interested in, then they should be at the relevant county record office.
