It is possible for you to 'play' with the free search on FindMyPast and get that information

Hi everyone
Is anyone able to assist me with 1921 census please, thanks.

Seeing the actual images/transcriptions for free is only possible at the National Archives, Manchester Central Library and National Library of Wales.
Though your local library may have access to FindMyPast, its doubtful the library edition will include full access to the 1921 census.


If you sign up for a free FindMyPast Account then you can search the census and as rosie99 says 'play' with the search terms to try to ascertain who was in each household via search results - lots of help/advice on how to search is available - post some names /dates and we can use those as an example - but obviously can't give details other than those which are available from a free search.

Access to the images/household transcripts comes at a cost.

Though your local library may have access to FindMyPast, its doubtful the library edition will include full access to the 1921 census.

Library users effectively get some of the same features you get with a Pro subcription - unlike Ancestry that have a dedicated Library Edition, the FindMyPast 'Library Edition' is effectively just allowing non-subscribers access as if they were a Pro subscriber, whilst they are logged in using a computer in a library (i.e. broadly equivalent to the free weekends).

So currently no library access to 1921 transcripts or images unless you ppv, or are already a Premium subscriber.

My guess is the 1921 census won't be free to use in libraries until Summer/Autum 2023.
