I agree with Christopher.
It may be different in the US where some censuses give you information
about the ownership etc but in the UK the census was taken over a
weekend and you were enumerated where you were. You may only have been
there on census night. Even if the whole family was at the same place,
if they were poor they may have been somewhere else the following week.

Steve,
Technically speaking - a census is an event, that has both a residence
and a date (useful for getting approximate ages). It cannot be assumed
that the census residence is necessarily the residence of the person
on the census.
My grandfather was a perfect example. He was down the street visiting
his grandparents when the census worker came by. He was included in
the list of persons living in that home, but it as not his residence.
It just so happened that he was at HIS home when a census worker
stopped there. He is listed on both records.
All that to say this: A census is en event, but it is not always a
record of the person's residence.

Legacy 9 Census vs residence
*Legacy 9 searches FamilySearch and a lot of the census is listed as
residence*
I have so many listed as residence and census, which is the
preferred thru the Legacy User Group
IUt is going to take a lot of time away form research.
Is they a way to change all residence to census.
Thanks
Steve Ostheimer
