Why do America have up to the 1930 census but UK only have up to 1901?
The UK census is made available to the public 100 years to the last day of the census year, meaning the next census available to the public in the UK will be the 1911 census, will be January 2nd 2012, January the 1st is a bank holiday here in the UK so it’s never released on the first of January. 1801 10th March Little use for Genealogy 1811 27th May Little use for Genealogy 1821 28th May Little use for Genealogy 1831 30th May Little use for Genealogy 1939 29th Sept For issue of ID cards – except service personnel. 1841 6th June Available 1851 30th March Available 1861 7th April Available 1871 2nd April Available 1881 3rd April Available 1891 5th April Available 1901 31st March Available 1911 2nd April Not yet released 1921 19th June Not yet released 1931 26th April Destroyed by fire in WWII 1941 — No census due to WWII 1951 8th April Not yet released 1961 23rd April Not yet released 1971 25th April Not yet released 1981 5th April Not yet released 1991 21st April Not yet released 2001
