I think we would all appreciate an idea of which areas will be released first, and roughly the order in which others will follow.

i thought major cities were going to be released first wth other areas being phased in generally so some places outin the sticks might not get the 1911 census for a while, but i am not sure now,

also wasn't religion included in the questions ?

The questions are exactly what I have posted. The only time there was a question about Religion was in 1851 when it was a separate Voluntary Enquiry.

That's what I mean - that information has been out for ages and is extremely vague.  I wish they would go into a bit more detail about which areas can be expected first (and last!)

Only in that a minister or priest, when stating his occupation, had to give his denomination.

Note that (numbered ?) street address should be included in most cases.

It will clear up ambiguous cases

This will be very significant although chatters over 50 would mostly have a fair idea where (probably) grandparents lived in 1911.

Are you sure about that ?   If you're over 50 (which I am), then your grandparents almost certainly won't be alive, and it's also quite possible that your parents won't be either (mine are not).  I know where the grandparents lived in 1901 (I got that from the census), but I've no idea where they lived in 1911, and none of my cousins seem to know, either.  I know where my mother's mother lived in the 1930's (when my mother got married), but I've no idea when my grandmother moved there.

I am over 50  (just!) and my 4 grandparents were born from 1891- 1900.

I know where 3 of them were living in 1911.

That's only because of addresses on birth certs of younger siblings though.
