On another thread, Guy Etchells quoted National Statistics Office (I think it was them) saying that the census will be destroyed when they've finished using it, so it won't be around for ancestors in 100 years.

It's also on here reply #19. That is only Guy's interpretation. Other interpretations are possible. One would have to ask ONS for clarity.

I may go to the pub that night and be enumerated there, so I am enumerated twice, to help descendants in 100 years time.  ;D ;D


Maybe it will have been destroyed by then  ;D

This might be a very, very STUPID comment - BUT aren't we supposed to be completing this census on 3! MARCH 2021?  Have I missed something somewhere?  Today is 12 March 2021 so 19 days in advance.

Apologies, but a lot can happen in 19 days  :o
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

If One has filled out the Census in advance, Online, then if Your circumstances have changed on the Census day, the option to amend the information, is again, available to do Online. Just don't lose the LogOn Reference Code, given in the Census Letter.

I may get drunk and sleep in a field on census night so family in 100 years time will be asking on social media "Can anyone find this man on the 2021 census?"

As long as you won't be breaking whatever coronavirus restrictions are then in force wherever you live!

Mine says "to be completed on Sunday the 21st March 2021" not the 31st March.

I do dislike the assumption that everyone is computer literate!
There are still households where they do not own any such device!
Especially among the older generation.

Slightly off topic but just let today’s oldies like myself pop their clogs before assuming everyone can use a computer or similar gadget!

Some manage very well, but many don’t.

I think they're hoping people will fill in the census when they receive their letter with the code number, so that the whole thing doesn't crash on 21 March.  ;D

I knew I'd seen his comment somewhere, I did whizz through the posts on here but obviously missed it.
