Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.
The 1921 Census of England and Wales has been made available online through a digitisation project with family history website, Findmypast. You can view it online via the following link: www.findmypast.co.uk/1921-census, where unlimited access to the 1921 Census is now available for a fee.
For free access, you can visit, in person, The National Archives (TNA) in Southwest London, Manchester Central Library or the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. At these locations you will be able to view the Census records via the Findmypast website, but without the charges.
As the requested information is reasonably accessible via an alternative route, even if that route would incur a charge, this information is exempt under Section 21(2)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
