Hi does anyone have access to the 1939 Register and is it possible to tell me who was at a particular address at that time?

The address is 26 York Street, Blackpool

The people are possible a Rayner family but not certain. Its the address a relation of mine died at the year before.

Her relations in the area at the time were -
Leonard RAYNER b1904
Lydia SOWDEN b1908 nee Rayner
May RAYNER b1912

These people may not have lived at that particular address but I'm interested in who lived at the place she passed away at.

Any help very gratefully received.

Regards
Cassie

Ooo thanks for the info

Londonbelle - looks like its a different family in 1939 than I thought it would be - unless I can find a link between those people and my relation who passed away.

Shirley - those 2 relations must have moved to Blackpool later than this then. Is it possible to have the addresses they were at if its not too much trouble?

Many thanks for the info - very much appreciated!
