Hello Listers Just in case you have not already heard....... Downing Street is offering a petition for people to sign, which would reduce the census release period from 100 years to 70 years, thus making the 1911, 1921 and 1931 censuses available to researchers, (Correct me if I am wrong but I believe most if not all of the 1931 census was destroyed by fire). This would obviously greatly benefit all who are tracing their family tree. We have over 12,000 signatures so far but we will need far more to be heard. Signatures must be added before 8th March 2007. If you would like to add your name, please click on this link: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/censusinfofreed Please pass this on to all who would be interested in supporting this petition. Thanks Kind regards Steve I almost forgot, you must be a British Citizen or resident in the UK.
