The 1911 census for Scotland will be available to the public in Spring 2011.

This is inline with Scotlands Freedom of information act (2002)

Thank you everyone for the information. I went to the website and this is what was posted.

Census to be released early!
The 1911 Census of England & Wales was taken on 2 April 1911, and until December 2006 it was not anticipated that the information would be made publicly available until January 2012. Indeed, as recently as September 2006 the National Archives posted an article confirming the 2012 date.

However, on 13 December 2006 the National Archives issued a press release announcing that following a determination under the Freedom of Information Act, most of the information from the 1911 Census will be made available online in 2009.

Until then an emergency service will be offered from 17 January 2007 whereby information from a specific address will be supplied at a cost of 45 pounds, which is the standard research fee. Until the census has been digitized it will not be possible to search by name.

For more details of this service click here.

There is currently no information about the 1911 Census of Scotland, but the release date is not expected to be affected.

What is available now?
Statistical information from the 1911 Census is available at the Vision of Britain site - click here to see the relevant page (it will open in a new window).

The 1911 Census for Ireland was released some time ago, and can be inspected in Dublin. However there is a project to put both the 1901 and 1911 Censuses of Ireland online, and it is anticipated that this will commence during 2007.

Some people who have paid the £45 have shared their information on the above website - unfortunately not many.

Just out of curiosity, when will the 1911 census be available for public review?

I'm from the States so haven't got any idea. Thank you.
