Hi June, I think you are meaning the Event date rather than a date in the source?
Do you have anything for the Census Event date? If you have the year, you could use Search - Search and Replace - on Event Date eg Search for 1851 Replace with 30 Mar 1851 Replace whole field. You'd need to do the replace one by one and check that it was a census event that had been found and not some other event happening in 1851. If you haven't entered a date at all in the date field then someone would have to know how you have entered the data to be able to write you one of those clever formulae.
