The 1921 Census is here!
The 1921 Census of England and Wales is now available! Taken on 19th June 1921 the census gives more detail than previous censuses: for example it includes an extended description of a person’s occupation as well as the employer’s name. The information regarding marital status includes if divorced for the first time. Invaluable for family historians but fascinating to anyone who wants to know more about their family history!
