I have not attached any census images, (in fact, I don't even download any census images); I only transcribe the census and attach the full transcription as a source to each person listed on the census. On the SourceWriter field that asks for "ID of individual" I put "John Doe household".
I do, however, include everyone in the household, whether servants, lodgers, visitors, etc. Sometimes these turn out to be family members, at which point I add them as individuals in my family file. I don't use "Census" Event either. I do use "Residence" event for everyone on the census, and if there is an occupation, I also do an "Occupation" event. I use the source clipboard to make it quick and easy.
