Jenny,
There is an English/Wales 1921 Census SourceWriter template. If you
haven't found it, you are behind in updating Legacy 9. I'm not sure
whether something different will be required when Scotland gets around
to releasing it.
I haven't yet tackled how to source the 1921 Census as I've been waiting
for it to come on subscription. Now it has but I'm waiting until my sub
to FMP is due late December to upgrade for otherwise I would be kind of
paying twice. It's interesting but not vital to my research. I have
found a few people in the free search and confirmed a couple of
households via searching.
I understood from a very early webinar on the 1921 census that piece and
schedule number weren't enough as the schedule number can be repeated
for a particular piece. How easy it is to see the full TNA reference, I
don't know as I haven't paid to look at any transcripts or images.

I haven't found the UK 1921 Census easy to navigate either! The was
never a problem with the previous UK censuses but this one presents a
real conundrum.
I would also like to find out how others are handling it.
Thanks everyone

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.
