Once I've written my research notes as below, I then take some of the details from them and enter them where appropriate e.g.AKA for Emily/Emma + Alternate birth dates and place details and so on. So I am entering the details where they should go. I'm partly there. Patricia

So for Emma I'd have an "Emily surname" AKA in addition to a Census event for 1871 showing her details. Also an Alt-Birth event with the different location. All of these would have a source of the 1871 Census. John would have his own 1871 census listing so further notes saying he's not with his parents are redundant. For Ann I'd indicate in her research notes that she's not found under "surname" in the 1871 census. Likewise for Jane. Periodically I'll search for all individuals with missing census dates and spend time looking for them. Details of these search parameters will be added to my research notes so I don't duplicate the effort. Disclaimer -- I'm not saying the above is "correct", that's just how I do it.
