Census records have to be sealed for 100 years so I would have thought not before 2022.

Search for free, pay for images as was the case initially with the 1911.
I don't think it was long before the 1911 was included in the FMP sub.

Island .................. it took about a year before the 1911 was included in the FMP sub instead of being an extra

It took about a year after release for the 1911 to be transcribed. It was then available in 2012 for a fee, and became available as part of one of the more expensive FMP subs in either 2013 or early 2014. I don't know when it became available on FMP under the cheapest sub.

I've always had the World sub on FMP, and it was available on that.

I would expect the same for the 2021.


So I would guess that it will be 2022 before release by a site for extra subscription, and then at least another year after that before it is included in a World sub

Which site will depend on who wins the bidding!

I can remember buying raffle tickets to help raise funds for the local record office to buy the 1881 census.
