UK Census of 1939
« on: Sunday 08 November 09 22:46 GMT (UK) »
I thought the census was every 10 years? I saw this on wikipedia, it doesnt have a page of its own though.

Can anyone explain it?

It wasn't a true census.  Just a quick stock-taking exercise.  The 1931 census was destroyed by bombing, and the 1941 census was cancelled. So no proper census available until 1951.

Best Wishes,  Nick.

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8363341.stm
an appeal has been made to the Information Commissioner to make
available records from the 1939 'census' taken for the purposes of the
National Registration Act.
