I still think it strange that we have to wait 100 years. I now live in the States, in California, where you would think they would be paranoid about releasing personal information yet here we can see the censuses after 70 years so we already have the 1930 on line at ancestry. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see our census with our name on it with our family? Oh well I'll wait for the year 2051 same as Lord - I might be alive at 105 but I don't know if I will be kicking. Is that a fact that the 1921 and 1931 censuses were partially or wholly destroyed? --- On Mon, 6/20/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SRY] Records for households 1914-1920 To: [email protected] Date: Monday, June 20, 2011, 10:16 AM Hi there, You could try electoral rolls, local directories and telephone directories  to begin with. Don't hold your breath waiting for the 1921 and 1931 census as WW11 put  paid to most of those records, there wasn't one in 1941 as the country was  otherwise engaged so we now have to wait for the 1951 census which probably  won't be released until 2051. I won't be alive by then so maybe SKS will dig me  up when it is released. lol Regards Lord Martyn *************************************** Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies.

Hi Paul As I posted previously The 1921 census is intact and will be released 100 years after it was taken so a little while to wait yet The 1931 census books & schedules were completely destroyed in a fire in 1942 (not enemy action) So no 1931 of any sort, likewise no 1941 as it was not taken Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Is that a fact that the 1921 and 1931 censuses were partially or wholly destroyed?

Thanks Nivard, at least I will be able to see my parents' census.
