Was wondering the same but they are said to be being released in 2012. Maybe the white block was done by a computer program that can be reversed , Not much of techy I,m afraid

But.....! will we see the extra info automatically or will the records have to be re-scanned first?

As Shirley said; and the column will be revealed, I understand, in January next year - as explained here:

Its because after lots of Lobbying they agreed to release the 1911 earlier than it should have been, The stipulation was that that section would be held back as it was thought it may cause distress to some who could still be alive although born after the census it would be immediate family.

Edit no 2 !! Altho the 1911 census wasnt covered by the 1920 100 year closure law it was retrospectively decided by government that it too was subject to a 100 year closure.
