The 1921 census

[Arfur Ap Llewellyn Europe]

These have just been released (although I'm not sure why it takes so long - is it a legal requirement or does it simply take ages to sift through?)

Some amazing, but also heartstring tugging stories unearthed in this article below.

The one guy who can't afford to divorce his wife but still has to pay child maintenance for the kid who she had with another bloke!

Also complaints of private rents being too high for the working man, and war veterans being shit on.

Do we learn nothing from history?!

I couldn't find my great-grandfather in the 1911 census, but found him in this one. Was living with his uncle and worked in the coalmines. I did my family tree last year, and these folks had it really hard. I may try again now because I find that once you have one name with details, you get a load of information back.
