    Default Identifying numbers

    Can anyone identify what these letters/numbers mean? It is taken from a just post war electoral roll:
    John P Casey YSEA/10043
    John P Casey YSEA/62958

    They are taken from a Glasgow Electoral Roll circa 1946/7. I would guess the age of John P to be 34. I wondered if it was a post war reservist number?

    Hi, Hazel: IThink you were involved in this but, adding to try to assist anyone also trying to help.

    They were created in the 1939 Register so I’m not sure what they are doing on a 1938 electoral roll. The number appeared on the person’s Identity Card. “Y” denotes a new number for someone who had lost their Identity Card, “S” denotes Scotland followed by the area code in which the new card was issued and a numeric sequence of between one and seven digits.

    I always appreciate any and all the help I get!! When you think I started with a number of half remembered tales from my husband, a couple of keywords and a Glaswegian accent - I have come a very long way! Much of my progress has only been possible with help from sites like this!

    the Casey family tree now amounts to more than 100+ people - it would appear that Dominic Cunningham Casey (probably Dominic Michael Stringer's birth name) had FOURTEEN brothers and sisters! Only five survived to adulthood.

    Marian Grey: [FONT="]John P Casey YSEA/10043[/FONT]
    [FONT="]John P Casey YSEA/62958[/FONT] I am assuming they are John Patrick Casey. The address matches where JP senior was living when JP junior was born. As this record is from an electoral roll dated 1947 it would make JP Senior 59 and JP junior 33/34. Would JP senior still have been a reservist at that age?

    Christmas brought me an Ancestry subscription and money for Scotlands People. I am slowly but steadily accruing an accurate list of relevant records for the family. However, I cannot fathom why or where the name STRINGER came from nor exactly what he got up t between February 1942 and December1942
