Weird, what's with all the thumbs-down, most of these were correct answers!? Anyway, I just wanted to add that although the 1911 census won't be completely released until 2012, some information will be released sooner!. At the moment, you can request a search of a specific address, but not a surname!. To make a request, you need:
1!. House name or number / Building name / Vessel name
2!. County
3!. Civil Parish

See http://www!.nationalarchives!.gov!.uk/1911c!.!.!. for more information regarding the 1911 census!.

It will be great when we are finally able to view the 1911 census, as apparently most entries are actually in the persons own handwriting, rather than the census taker's writing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi!. On top of the information provided by other correspondents,about the Census for England and Wales which began fully in 1801 and became published with names in 1841, there could not be a full census in 1941 because of the Second World War!. There is 100 years close of access in England and Wales which means that the most recent one available is for 1901!. In Scotland however there is only an 80 years close so the 1921 Census for Scotland should now be available!.
The next one therefore that we will complete will be in 2011!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

UK censuses are taken every 10 years, in years ending in 1!. 1841, 1851, 1861, etc!. They are released for public examination only after 100 years!. So the most recent census that you have access to is the 1901!. The 1911 census will be released in 2011!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901!. The 1911 one will be available sometime next year I understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
