If you enter "Genuki England Census" into Google and open the first item in the list, you will find full details of the dates of the Censuses.

Thought some people might find the 20th century dates interesting too.
A lot of people from abroad often don't realise that we have the 100 year closure rule here.

2 April 1911    100 year closure - will be opened 1st January 2012
19 June 1921   100 year closure
26 April 1931   Destroyed during WW2
29 September 1939   WW2 National Registration - 100 year closure
8 April 1951     100 year closure
23 April 1961   100 year closure
25 April 1971   100 year closure
5 April 1981     100 year closure
21 April 1991   100 year closure
29 April 2001   100 year closure

Hope this helps someone 

And by the way the 1901 was taken on 31st March.
