Hi I think the best way to do this type of search is directly in their website, and not through a search from Legacy.
Doing it yourself means that you have control on the search and can work through the records that are found. The same technique works against any of the websites that have access to census records - Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage etc. - but Family Search has the benefit of being free. The risk with an automatic search is that it is dependent on the data that you have in Legacy, which might not relate to the way that the census records are written or indexed, so that you do not find the records that you are looking for. For an example, I was tracing a family in Cornwall and found 14 different versions of the family surname across census and BMD records. Doing it manually give you the option to control these searches.
