    Same rules apply, but there was probably a 1921 census carried out there, instead of 1926 here, there having been no civil war in the North to hold up beaurocracy.

    I think that you have to pay to view the UK&NI ones.

    What about the 1931 one then?

    You don't get to see them until 100 years after the year that the census was carried out, so you'll have to wait until 2031.

    The NI one was obviously done in 1926 as well, according to this:

    http://www.nisranew.nisra.gov.uk/census/Censushistory/censusireland.html
    From 1821 censuses were taken at ten yearly intervals until 1911. Subsequently, events in Ireland resulted in the postponement of the 1921 Census. This resulted in a break with Great Britain Census timing - one which was not restored until 1951. It was not until 1925 that the Northern Ireland Minister of Finance introduced the second reading on a Census Bill. He indicated that it was nearly 15 years since the last Census in Ireland and that intervening events such as the Great War and the 1918-19 flu epidemic required a census to be carried out. It was accordingly held on 18 April 1926 (the day also of a census in the rest of Ireland). The head of each household was given a form to fill in on behalf of everyone in the dwelling on a certain day. This system has stood the test of time and it still forms the basis of the method we use today.
    In order to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the planned census of 1941 a census of more limited scope (e.g. omitting questions regarding occupation and industry) was taken in 1937. The outbreak of war and the subsequent paper shortage led to a restricted publication programme and later, inevitably, to the abandonment of plans for the 1941 census. Since 1951 Censuses in Northern Ireland have been held at the same time as the rest of the United Kingdom at ten yearly intervals, with the exception of the additional 1966 mid term census.

    For info: Over at the Genealogy forum you'll find people who can look up records in the UK and USA forums from 1840 to 1911 (UK) and 'til 1930 (USA)
