The constituent *countries* of the UK have their own censuses (Wales is a bit arguable), so depending on how one enters a census it is possible that an Irish census may not be recognised by a Scottish census, nor either by an English/Welsh census for that matter (and vice versa). If you include the Country in your Census/Residence Events then the manner in which this is done may have an effect on how Legacy reads it - I haven't checked this.
None of this alters the fact that we are dealing with probabilities.

The tool doesn't list every person in the database it only lists those people it "thinks" should be in the area searched but don't have a likely census entry (From Help: These include event names and descriptions, individual and event source citations, and individual notes). I have checked the box "Exclude individuals...already found in this census". As for your marriage example that is up to the programmers to answer definatively, they are already looking in a variety of places to try and work that out. For my answer I would say no however census events, residence events yes! So what I am suggesting is that the way it is working isn't ideal because if someone lives in the borders of England and Scotland and keeps swapping back and forward (for example) if I find them and enter them in Scotland then I don't want them appearing in the possible England list for the same year. My specific example is I know a family was in Ireland in 1851 because their children were all born there. I have put a residence event in for the census night of 1851 to try and stop the tool from suggesting Scotland but it still does. My question is should this be reported as a bug as it is suggesting looking for a family in Scotland when I have them recorded elsewhere?

What has got to do with your comment about somebody being in a different country? Which is what my post was referring to?
