This talk will explore the 1921 Census, released earlier this year, and its associated resources, and demonstrate ways in which the records might be used to inform (or inspire) local history research. The talk will be given by Jessamy Carlson, Family & Local History Engagement Lead at The National Archives in Kew.

Jessamy is a qualified archivist and historian. She has over twenty years’ experience in research, and has written on diverse subjects from babies named after First World War battles to teenage girls in “trouble” in the mid-twentieth century. She is passionate about getting people into archives, and into research.
