There is only the 1911, that is pay to view, but you can do a free search.

What are you after Lynda?

looking for margaret hewitt and john sutton - brother and sister that were living together in ashton in makerfield in 1901 census - trying to keep tabs on them both - think I found margarets death in 1907 in nearby town of Lowton...

In a word no, the next census due for release will be the 1921, but that will not be until 2021, even then i doubt very much if it will be free.

Census records are subject to a 100 year closure rule.

In addition to what others have correctly said, the 1881 census has a free index and freecen has transcribed some areas and some census records but it is far from finished. However, they may not be what you're looking for.
