Census 2021 '8 things you need to know about the Census' from the BBC

This is a lighthearted look at interesting 'factoids' about the Census since 1801.
It's entitled 'Census 2021', but it's not about this one.

I particularly liked the photos of ranks of women collating data from the 1931 Census forms - only to have the whole thing destroyed later.  :(

Interesting!...thanks for sharing. I researched the Suffragette movement three years ago and created a display and I learned that many of them stayed out all night to avoid being included in the census in protest against women not having the right to vote!
