1911 Census
20th December 2008
The 1911 census is going to be made available on-line in 2009, earlier than the 100 year rule would normally have allowed. Under the Freedom of Information the government is allowing it to be released early, but with the sensitive data about mental condition blanked out. Already, as an early Christmas 2008 present, some people are being invited to test the beta version of the 1911 census site to give feedback on how it works.
The exciting thing with this census is that we will be able to see the actual return written in the handwriting of one of the household members!
I can hardly wait to get a look.
