For those waiting for the 1911 census of England and Wales, you just moved up in line! The National Archives recently announced that because of the Freedom of Information Act, portions of the census will be available as early as January 2007.
If you know the address of the 1911 resident, The National Archives will offer a limited research service. They hope to offer a searchable online service in early 2009. The census in its entirety cannot be legally released until 2011.
To learn what will be available and when, visit http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/1911census/.
this sounds great news
