Yes, I was talking about events, but not across sources. Keeping with the census example, and example, let's say it was for a married couple. I currently do not create separate events for each spouse, but instead add one event to the marriage. (I suppose this could be a form of lumping vs splitting, though not what I had in mind in the OP). What I was thinking of as lumping was to lump into the notes of the event other facts taken off that one census form. Maybe a paragraph similar too:
"They lived on a farm, which they rented. Neither could read or write. He was a 'teamster' with his own team (as was his neighbor, Gus Johnson). He was a veteran. She was the mother of 10, 8 were still living." The event itself has a date and location, so I wouldn't include that in the notes. Instead of a paragraph like this, I could opt (as I have in some instances) to split out several different facts like Occupation and Military maybe.
