1921 Census ?

I came across this http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/restor...921-census-now

I do sooo wish we had access to the census

A big pat on the back for Guy. The timing couldn't be better, with the government looking to generate revenue.

LOL Merry and Marg! - - I must rack my brains!

I just found this - http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/...les&pageseq=21

It is Welsh - not sure if the English was the same - but it doesn't look as though there was any sensitive information recorded on the census

This is a quote from Guy on another site, it seems our vote is important !

I'd love the census to be avavilable too.

One comment on the site was that it was possible for there to be living people on the census, although they would be quite young on the census. I guess the only issue is if those people care the census is released.

Surely the issue is that the government of the day gave a solemn promise that the information taken on the census would not be released for 100 years.

I do not feel that a subsequent government has the right to overturn this promise just to satisfy our curiosity.

Well if there are people living that were recorded on 1921 they would have been mostly children then unless there is anyone 110 -120 years old still alive I suppose there's a few (or have I got my arithmetic wrong ) my mother was born 19th March 1921 she died in November 2000 she would have been 3 months old on the 1921 census.
