petitions.pm.gov.uk/CensusInfoFreed/Signing this petition would allow census information from 1911, 1921 and 1931 to be used by the general public researching their family history in the absense (or failing memories) of their elderly relatives. Birth, Marriage and Death information is already available so why is information about where people lived hidden. Please pass this link onto any friends relatives or collegues interested in keeping our ancestry alive Tracey

I wonder if Jen Tibbetts works for ancestry.com ' ' Seriously, this is a great link. Such 'more recent' information would really conclude our ancestry research nicely. I've signed!

Thank you hun lets see a few more just as a request do you think this could be added to the main pages before subscription to the forums seeing as we have such a high hit ratio but not everyone joins the forums ? If i could access the 1911, 1921 & 1931 census it would make research so much more enjoyable and productive.

The USA has census information up to and including 1930, which I've found very useful for checking out family members who emigrated. It would be great if the UK could follow suit.

A bit off topic, but I have found that inquests held at Ruthin Archives cannot be released until 75 years after the event took place, so why are they there in the first place. They must have been donated from solicitors. I was lucky enough to find a sympathetic archivist who agreed to let me have copies of one a couple of years early, but what is the problem. I am not going out to find the descendents of the man who ran over my Gt Aunt in 1930 or even the man who was accused of pushing her in front of the car.------- [glow=red,2,300] OR AM I !!!!!!!!!!!
