1921 census
« on: Thursday 15 July 10 18:39 BST (UK) »
I have today received a letter from 10 Downing Street asking me to add a posting to the Spending Challenge website. I was happy to oblige.

So in addition to voting on the previously mentioned Your Freedom site please visit http://tinyurl.com/398s44a and vote by rating the thread.
Please also add your comment.

If enough people vote and comment on this we could get access to the 1921 census.

One thing is certain if people do not vote we will not get access.
Cheers
Guy

10 out of 10 for persistance - but it won't happen.

........ and as you have previously castigated petitions on the Number 10 website it is somewhat ironic that you are now pushing them


(Note to moderators what I have said above is true and you can verify by using the search option therefore please do not remove my post this time)
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

This is a slightly different website to what the previous Government had set up for their petitions, and if this Government were serious about both saving money and making more for the economy they would look seriously at this suggestion. I did read somewhere that they have been impressed with some of the suggestions made on this website and that some might be put into place so why not this as already stated it keeps everybody happy.

Ah but there is the rub Alan. It doesn't keep everybody happy. Some people are very unhappy about people fiddling around with the old censuses before 100 years has elapsed.

It would be very difficult - well nigh impossible - to poll the percentages for and against releasing the 1921 census, however, I would hazard a guess that the aye votes would win hands down.

Thanks to all who have left a rating and comment on the site they all count.

Yes Alan, it seems notice is being taken.
Whether it will lead anywhere or not I cannot tell at this stage but the tone of the letter I got from the PM certainly conveys the impression it will be looked at favourably.
The impression I formed was it somewhat depends on the number of ratings and comments.
Cheers
