To find the people to exclude then use census list to find the people for the census year you want, then tag everyone in list, then go to first tab and do a search for the individuals with a Census Event= to What ever you named the event as and search only the tagged list then the results should be those that have a census event and then you can untag everyone in list as they should still be tagged.
