How are other LUGgers handling the 1921 Census, for which there isn't -
yet - a SourceWriter template?
Firstly, there seems to be some confusion about precisely what comprises
a "correct" reference. Some people seem to think that something along
the lines of RG15-nnnnn-xxx will suffice (where nnnnn is the Piece
number and xxx the Schedule number, whereas others are saying that this
does not always relate to ONE individual record and that to ensure that
it does so it is necessary to include the tri-part District Reference.
Secondly, unlike with earlier Censuses, including the 1911, the address
of the household is not shown on the "main image", nor any reference
information. The address and Schedule number are shown in two separate
images. To provide a fully authentic Source citation, need one include
all 3 images?
I have only accessed a couple of 1921 records so far and the best method
of recording them seems to be to use the template for the 1911 Census,
typing a space in the first field (otherwise RG78 is automatically
included in the citation) and leaving the 2nd field blank, but filling
all the other fields as indicated. It may be "overkill" to include all
this, but it makes for consistency with the 1911 Census. So far, I have
only included the main image with each citation.
