1921 Census!
Maureen did extensive research into the 1921 British census that was released last week. We can search now for ancestors who were living in England and Wales; Scotland's and Ireland's records will be available at a later date.
The date of the census was scheduled for April of 1921. Due to a strike that occurred at that time, it was actually taken in June. If you do not find your relatives "at home," check workhouses, hospitals and prisons.
The census information is only available on Find My Past. You can search for names but will need to pay a fee to access (and download) either the record transcript or the original image. There is a 10% discount for Find My Past members, but you can take a look at the census without paying for a subscription.
Thanks, Maureen, for an extremely interesting and educational presentation!
