Andy,
The 'Census' took place on Friday 29th September 1939 and was termed the 1939 England and Wales Register. It was a snapshot of the population taken just prior to hostilities commencing. 40 million people were registered. As well as the usual name, address, sex, DOB and occupation, it allowed for the inclusion of other occupations. eg Air Raid Warden. It was not fool proof though, as my father and his family for instance cannot be found, although neighbours were. As Howard points out the '31 Census was lost and, due to the War, the '41 Census could not be taken .
I have yet to explore this Register with regard to the Longbridge Estate.
Ruairidh,
The 1921 Census took place on Sunday 19th June and had been postponed from April due to industrial unrest. This would explain Stanley Edge being recorded as being at home and not with the Clintons at Lickey Grange Lodge.
The census records the place where the individual during the night of the prescribed date, suggesting Stanley must have travelled back to work on the morning of the 20th June.
