We are counting down to the publication of the 1921 British Census which will be released online tomorrow - January 6th. The census is an invaluable tool for family history researchers like us. In recording the addresses, occupations, age and marital status of the whole population it gives us masses of information that we can use to delve into family histories. On a personal note we are geeky super-excited to see how the 1920s were occupying our families !
Do get in touch if we can help you with your own family history or you are intrigued to know who lived in your house 100 years ago. [email protected]
