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

Hi Lord 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) The next major item is the 1939 National Identity Registration which is the nearest there is to a census in the period as there was no 1941 taken For a fairly sizable fee you can request certain detail from the above Details can be found in a post here http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/YORKSGEN/2009-11/1258303168 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > 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.
