LeadFarmer,
I've just found out that the 1921 Census will not be released until January 2022.
Interesting, I wonder if thats due to staff shortages etc?
I have contacted Greater Manchester Police museum and asked them for any information they may have. They have sent me some of his service record which is quite fascinating..
