Petition Release the 1921 Census records to the public now.

The latest Census records available to the public are way back in 1911. That's before the First World War. There are a lot of people trying to research their Family History but find it difficult with over 100 years gap on the National Census.

More details

Signing this partition will help so many families to trace their roots quicker and if we are successful the rule governing the release of Census records can be reduced from 100 years to 30.
