1921 UK Census NEWS

[libby9]

My money is on it going to one of the well known subscription sites.

And my money is on FindMyPast,  they got the 1939 register, and the1911 census first.  That's if FindMyPast want it at a huge cost.  If they do get it no doubt they'll charge extra for it, not include it in a subscription, same as they did in the beginning with 1939 register.  Whoever gets it will want to recoup the cost of transcribing digitising and other costs.

Pleased I don't need it to further my research, however I'll be using it, if only to be nosey  .

The first name I will be looking for is  Margaret Manuel born about 1871, (St. Mary's US of America). 1911 Census, England. America is a big place for a place name St. Mary's. Her married name Rounsley. Lived and died in County Durham after returning from USA.

Like Libby, I don’t actually need the 1921 census as the 1939 register solved all my questions. However it will be interesting if it contains actual places of employment.

Lots of my rellies died inbetween 1921 and 1939 so I shall certainly look forward to the 1921 census. First entry I shall look at will be my London born great grandmother in Co Durham.

My great-grandmother had a child in about 1908, several years after her husband died. On the birth certificate, she named her long-dead husband as the father. The child in question died in 1926, cause of death, tuberculosis. I have no idea who the real father might have been except for a previously unknown surname given to the baby as a middle name. 1911 was of no help whatsoever but I live in hope of clues from 1921. Great granny died in 1939, before the register was taken.

There are several other little niggly points about my mum's family which need to be cleared up so I live in eternal hope of some level of resolution!

I believe, someone will no doubt correct me if I am wrong, but this will not apply to the Scottish 1921 Census.

It is held in the National Archives of Scotland and the Scottish Government will decide on its release date. That will probably mean that it will only be available at Scotlands People the same as the 1911 Scottish Census and not go out to the highest bidder.

It cannot come quickly enough for me but I had better not hold my breath at my age

I too am eagerly awaiting the 1921 release. While the 1939 has been great, there are gaps in my tree on families who ‘grew’ between 1911 and 1939 😀

Not too worried about the 1921 - grandparents on one side have already been followed on the Canadian 1920s census, and the other set of grandparents are thoroughly known. Not really prepared to pay more in subs, as, year by year there seems to be less for me to find on those sites, sadly. I think I ought to put my money into a crystal ball, might find those elusive and mislaid ones more easily that way!

If you find a reliable crystal ball, do share the details - I am sorely in need of one .......!!!
