Webinar - My ancestor was on the 1921 census – well they should have been with John Hanson 5 July 2023 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm Guild contact: Julie Goucher The lecture will look at the history behind the 1921, its release, and the problems that exist in trying to find people. As always about 90% of people will be easy but it is that missing 10% that can be so frustrating. So, we will try to show how to get the best from it and find those elusive people. Attendees will gain an understanding of the benefits and the limitations of the 1921 census and hopefully how to find their ancestors.
