I'm not sure: there's nothing in the Terms & Conditions to exclude non-UK residents but you must provide your address. I'd suggest you try it: the worst hat can haooen is hat your submisission id rejected.

Personally, despite having to wait several more years, I would hope that they do NOT release the census early. The people in the census provided confidential information, having been told by the government that it would be protected for 100 years. I would hope that we would be able to honour that promise, and that future generations would do the same for our data. As the population gets older, there is every likelihood that people in the 1921 census are still living.
