Hi, For all those interested in the release of the 1851 census. I contacted Ancestry to ask when the 1851 census was likely to be released and the following is the response I received. Regards Maureen We apologize for any inconvenience. At this time we are working to complete the posting of information in the 1841 & 1851 Uk Censuses. We do not have an official release schedule for future postings. Certain information may not currently be available due to varying issues. These include (but are not limited to) research, rescanning, and quality assurance matters. We will complete the posting of this database as quickly as possible, but there will be some delay before the entire project is completed. Thank you for your patience. PLEASE NOTE: In addition to the above issues governing when more information is added to this database, this data is supplied by a third party. Periodic updates to this database are provided to Ancestry.com as these are made by the organization responsible for collecting this information. However, the frequency of these updates varies.
