Read it on thisismoney.co.uk and moneyadvicesevice.org.uk always thought it was (well presumed) for however long CB was paid

No - As flugelhorn says, it is now only if you qualify for CB for a child under 12

We both hopefully have enough years of work left I was just wondering when it says she has full record about transferring to me.

If you're not working, you could do that. If you're paying NI conts because you're working, you won't get any benefit from changing the CB to your name.

Depending on how much is missing to make up a full year, it could be worth buying the rest.

I can't find any information about whether two parents in the same household can claim for different children in the same family. It's probably not a situation that would normally be asked about because at least one adult would usually be getting a benefit that protects their pension like JSA.
