Like the United States, the United Kingdom holds a nationwide census every 10 years, on the “ones” (1841, 1851, 1861 and so on). Here’s what to expect from the 1921 census of England and Wales once it’s released, and how you can use it to find more about your ancestors. The collection on Findmypast (which is not live as of writing) will contain an estimated 18 million color images with details on almost 38 million people. The original census records consist of more than 28,000 bound volumes filling shelves a mile long. The UK National Archives’ commercial partner, Findmypast, will digitize, transcribe and index the entire 1921 census of England and Wales before placing it online. As a result, the 1921 census will be the last decennial census available until 2052, when (if current privacy laws are maintained) the 1951 census will be released.
The 1921 enumeration is made all the more important because of what transpired in the decades that followed: The 1931 census was lost in a fire, and the 1941 census wasn’t taken because of World War II. With names, ages, places of birth and relationships covering virtually the whole population in that year, these records will be a major resource for genealogists. The highly anticipated 1921 census of England and Wales is expected to be released on 6 January 2022.
