You asked
Will census records from 1921 be made public this year and if so how and when?
We said
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.
In line with government policy, relevant legislation and the promise of confidentiality, personal census data is not released until 100 years after the census in question. This helps to protect personal information about people still living, whose information was recorded on these historic censuses.
For administrative purposes, the date of the records is calculated at the end of the year and not from the dates of individual sensitive records. Personal data from the 1921 census will, therefore, be made available to the public in early 2022 and will be accessible through Findmypast.
