I am sure most all USA researchers know that for census records prior to 1850, the only individual identified by name is the "head of household". Other family members are only specified by approximate age and the number of people in that age range.
So my question is: if you are "fairly certain" that a female in the 1840 census in an age range is the same as the spouse specified in the 1850 census and the ages are consistent, do you record that 1840 census record in the spouse record? Obviously since you cannot be _certain_ of that fact, what do you do? I am curious as to other people's opinion.
