When I do a census, first of all I add a fact - -- Census, Federal 1900 (or whatever census is being done) And I add the details - Elyria, Lorain, Ohio, USA and the full date that the census was done. NOT ENUMERATION DAY...
Then in my notes I transcribe what I see in the census listing. I give the head of household a full listing of EVERYONE in the household that is listed on that census entry. If there is someone not related I include in my notes that persons status. If unrelated and I know that for a fact I state that. After doing that, I use the repeat button, I go to each person that was listed in that household and I give them the listing that pertains to them. It is sourced exactly like I do with the head of household. The image is given to the head of household for that census. Once a person marries and becomes head of household then they begin having the main note and images linked to them. The only things linked to the marriage would be a copy of the marriage record/Certificate, copy of a newspaper write up on the marriage or a scanned image of the wedding invitation. If a divorce occurred and I somehow had documentation of that it would be linked to the marriage to support the divorce date if known. I do the same with birth facts & birth Certificates, death fact & death certificates, Obituaries (I type all in), and burial usually has the headstone photo linked. Hope this is clearer than mud and it helps.
