re: census events i am recording british census events 1871,1881,1891 and 1901 and trying to decide how to record them here are 3 items i would really appreciate opinions on:
A) i record census information first as a census event with the year of the census and the location.
i also record the individual's occupation as an occupation event.
i am trying to decide whether to place the (house number, street address) as a residence event or as a census event address.
B) my second quandary is recording the individual' age and/or dob from the census.
the census states an individual's age from which i can get an estimated dob. but i also want to record handily the age listed on the census
at the moment i record in 'birth notes'
1871 (british census) age given as 31, estimated dob 1840
1881 (british census) age given as 41, estimated dob 1840
this has the advantage of listing all my estimated dob's in one easy to read place.
C) another quandary i have is selecting a method to record the census event (and address) for the family members at that address with the minimum of repetition. i put the unique information ie occupation and age with that individual, but i would like to record the (street) address, location and census event in only one place possibly with cross references.
