  I received this information from Findmypast today:

==========================================


Updates to the 1939 Register and more this Findmypast Friday


90,809 new records have been opened on the 1939 Register in this latest update. You can normally find an ancestor’s name, date of birth, address, occupation and marital status, plus extra details such as civilian role and other family members. Findmypast has the most up-to-date version of the 1939 Register online.


A further 46,567 records have been added into this existing collection, covering the Worthing local authority area for 1850-2012. You’ll normally find an ancestor’s name, birth year, age at death, burial date and church dedication. Sometimes, you might also find extra notes, such as titles, places of residence, occupations, relatives’ names, marital status and workhouse status.
