If this has been publicised on List previously, I apologise for having missed it, but feel it is well worth mentioning whether for the first time or not!!! There is a petition gathering signatures at present to seek early release of the 1921 Census as follows: * Amend the 1920 Census Act to make the publication of the census data exempt from the 100 year rule so that the data can be published now. * It is already 90 years since that 1921 census took place. The 1931 census data for England was destroyed in WW2 and no census took place in 1941. * Considering there is no other census available until the 1951 one, th original release date of 2022 will be too late. * Most people named in the 1921 census are no longer amongst us. The petition closes on 24th April 2014 and I hope Listers and their friends and families will support it. If you agree please you could all take time to sign up to it. Signing the petition is very simple just follow the link below and fill in your details it only takes a minute. Your adult spouses Griens and relatives are all eligible to sign too.
