Anyone have any idea when the 1911 census is due out as I thought it was supposed to be being released earlier than the usual 100 years rule?

I think it is due out 2009. You can actually get a search done now on a specific address for £45.

TThe 1911 Census
he next census that will be available to the public will be the eagerly awaited 1911 census. In recent years, census information has been closed, certainly for family history purposes, for 100 years which is why the latest generally available to the public is that taken in 1901. The National Archives were planning to make the 1911 census available in January 2012 but a ruling by the Information Commissioner in December 2006 means that the National Archives have been forced to make the information available now. However for practical reasons, all that is available at the moment is a paid for search by National Archives staff to give the details of people living at a nominated address.

Recently (April 2007), National Archives announced that ScotlandOnline will be their partner in the project to put the 1911 census for England and Wales online. From 2009 there will be a phased release of the information starting with the major conurbations; this will include images and transcription data.

A caveat on this is that "personally sensistive" information will not be available until 3 January 2012. According to the minutes of the FRC User Group in January 2007, this would include "details of infirmity or other health-related information, information about family relationships which would usually have been kept secret and information about very young children who were born in prison".

If you want to take advantage of what the National Archives are calling their "basic research service", you will need to provide a House Name or Number or a Building Name or a Vessel Name plus the Civil Parish and County. They will charge their standard fee for their paid search service - currently £45 per address search - and they will be no refunds for unsuccessful searches.

Initial reports from people who have paid for this service is that the National Archives have responded quickly and send a photocopy of the householder's schedule rather than a transcript. In the examples I've seen, the infirmity column is covered by a strip of paper saying "neither confirm or deny".
