Could anyone lookup a McCulluck family in the 1939 census please
Only info I have is they lived in Cannon Street in Middlesbrough
Not sure if spelling correct ??
Thank you Sue

Do you have any first names??


There are apparently 64 families with names of possible versions of your name McCulluck/McCullock, etc

The only name that might be possible is Joyce, but not sure, sorry but thanks for trying

Not Cannon Street, anyway.

In Cannon Street there were these surnames:

Ackroyd, Adams, Martinez, Thorpe, Marron, Cohen, Welford, Taylor, Allison, Cass, Wrightson, Matthews, Hall, Trippett, Wiseman, Jackson.

Okay, thank you so much for looking for me, the relative who gave me the address may have it wrong or they might have moved there after 1939,
Think I’ve reached a dead end.
Thanks again for trying.

Is this. Who you are looking for please?

Births Dec 1925 (>99%)
McCulluck Joyce Coverdale Middlesbro' 9d 833


If she is still alive, her record will still be closed.

Not sure if she’s still alive, I will give these details to the relative who gave me the details and see if this jogs her memory.
Thank you.
I will get back to you when I know more.

This could be the marriage of Joyce's parents ..........

Marriages Jun 1923 (>99%)

9 children born between 1924 and 1936 ............... I won't post them as they could still be alive. Easily found on freebmd.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at that tomorrow and let you know how I get on,
Thanks for your help.

from Image:

Thomas Hugh was also in the ARP

Joan's change of name was recorded 24-1-51

Grace's name change recorded 11-3-50

Pauline's name change recorded 1-9-75

The "name closed" means that either the person is still alive OR they died after 1991 when the NHS stopped updating the Register; OR they are dead but no-one has asked FMP to open the record and provided the proof of that.

They might of course have died overseas, or outside England and Wales.

If a Public Tree on ancestry is to be believed, his correct name might be Thomas Hughes Mcculloch, son of Thomas Henderson Mcculloch and Grace Darling Hughes

If that is true, then Thomas Hughes was born before his parent's marriage

Thank you Sylvia,
This is really interesting, can I just ask, when the names have been changed have they been changed to McCulloch?

Hi Susan

You're welcome ...............

no, the name in brackets is the maiden name.

The 1939 Register became the basis for the NHS which came into being in 1947.

Women who married after the Register was taken had their name changed to the married name as the Register was updated by the NHS.


The dates I gave you for those women was the name at which the NHS change was made, which will be AFTER the marriage date.

As far as Thomas Hughes Mcculloch is concerned, it looks as though he just switched the two names around so that he used his father's surname instead of his mother's maiden name.

He could that just by usage, without any legal steps being taken ............. and it is apparent that Thomas Henderson Mcculloch was his father by the surname being given to your Tomas ............ a common acknowledgement of the birth father.
