Question:i need the next census for more clues to my family history


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i need the next census for more clues to my family history

January 2nd 2012, it is released exactly 100 years after December 31st 1911. So the 1911 census, which is due for release on the first working day of January 2012. We have a bank holiday on January 1st, so that's why it's due out on the 2nd.
Hope this helps.
I found this additional information for you,
1911 UK Census - Will be opened January 2012
The most important innovation made in 1911 was the use of the census to obtain more detailed information bearing on the fertility of marriage. The 1911 Census was also the first in which machines were used for purposes of tabulation in Great Britain. A significant consequence of the introduction of machinery was that it enabled the results of the census to be presented in greater detail than could ever have been attempted before.

Spam,
I think you have been mislead with the information you have given, as you can see the census isn't actually released until the first working day of 2012.
I hope you didn't mind me pointing this out to you. I hope I haven't offended you in any way, that was not my intention.

In 2011.
I correct this to 2009, on line with restrictions.

Restricted access now by way of a chargeable research service, and, as I understand it, a partial digital data base available in 2009 with the full census released in 2012

From the UK National Archives site :-
In response to great public demand The National Archives is developing an online 1911 Census service, covering most parts of the census, with an external partner; we are actively investigating the possibility of launching this digital service in 2009. Over two kilometres of census records, containing the details of 35 million UK ancestors, will be digitised. This will provide an online service, across most fields of the Census, enabling researchers anywhere in the world to search and download digital scans of images from the census. As with our current online census services it will be both address and name searchable. It is anticipated that it will be available from 2009. It will offer a much cheaper and speedier access to the census returns than the planned FOI service. The full 1911 census won't be released until 2012.

What is the service that you are providing now?
A basic research service to enable you to request information from specific addresses in the 1911 census
The 1911 Census does not have a surname index so we cannot conduct searches for names in the original documents - when it goes online this will be easy to do
We cannot provide personally sensitive information from the 1911 census

How do I make a request now?
You will need to provide:

1. House name or number / Building name / Vessel name
2. County
3. Civil Parish
Requests cannot be processed without this information.

The FOI Act requires information requests to be processed within 20 working days. These 20 working days begin once The National Archives has received payment.

All requests must be in writing and an online form is provided for your convenience. Go to our form to apply online

Will I have to pay for this information?
This will be a charged service in line with The National Archives paid search service - currently £45 per address search
