can we view the census records for 1911 and 1921 as i just found this on ancestry Why are there no census records after 1930? To protect the privacy of living persons who may appear in the censuses, The government requires a 72-year waiting period from the year a census is taken before it can be released. For this reason, the 1940 census will not be made available until the year 2012. it doesnt state that we cant view the other censuses

Paul This must be for US census. There is an 100 year closure on UK census.

Paul, that may be the US census, I believe they were taken on the ten year ie 1920,1930, etc. I know we are not yet able to view the 1911 or 1921 as the UK gov has a 100 year closure rule.
