I would like the census to be released early for obvious reasons but it wont be and think this is only right. There are some people who were still alive in 1921 and it is not fair on them for details to be revealed IMHO.

Make the most of this one because the 1931 were destroyed;

On the night of Saturday 19 December 1942, there was a fire at a store in Hayes, Middlesex. The store, the responsibility of the Office of Works, contained a large amount of furniture but in addition it contained the census records for England & Wales for 1931, that is the whole of the schedules, enumeration books and plans. They were all completely destroyed.

For the 1921 census to be released there will have to be a change in the law.

Its a bit complicated and I am sure that someone on here will be able to explain.

But I know that the rules on release were changed for the 1921 census.

And if that is the case, there are far more important issues for our government to deal with than this.

To be honest, no. I feel that unless you have a really common surname it cannot be that hard to follow on. Even the 1911 left us with many queries, especially when it came to the number of chldren who had died!!!

I have far too many brick walls in the past which I am slowly breaking down.
