I signed it too. It would be great to see if my dad was still at home or if he had left by then.

I don't think it going up quite as fast as it looks, it seems to start at a lower number than goes up fairly quickly and finally settles, but it has gone up a good bit since this morning.

Thanks for this post Sinann. I would have missed this otherwise.
I had read up about the 1926 census and it not being released early. I am surprised there hasn't been a petition sooner.

Signed & shared! ;)

Governments and countries should keep their word.

The 1926 census was completed with a legal guarantee that material would not be released for 100 years.  To break that promise is a breach of faith.

I am not so sure of that. The BBC say otherwise.
