1940 Census?

Question

1940 Census?

Answer 1

If you are talking of England, the Census year ends in a 1 and, for obvious reasons, there was no Census taken in 1941.

Answer 2

UK answer.

What is the question, could you clarify please.

Answer 3

If you are talking about U.S. census, the first poster gave you correct information.  Census information is not released to the public for 72 years to protect privacy.  The 1940 should be available to the public in 2012 unless some people persuade Congress to move the time allowed further back.  

I understand in the U.K. they will not release a census until after 100 years.

Answer 4

2012!!!

Answer 5

The census records and data specific to individual respondents is not available to the public until 72 years after they were taken but detailed statistical data derived from the census is freely available contemporaneously. Every census up to 1930 is currently available to the public and can be viewed on microfilm released by the National Archives and Records Administration, the official keeper of old federal census records. These census records are also available online from various sources such as Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com, which have all released census records available for a subscription. The 1940 census will be available for public review in 2012.
