1 For occupations having recorded the full census date the wording
comes out rather unwieldy in reports e.g. "He worked as a Brewer on 03
Apr 1881" Obviously you cannot deduce that he was actually working on
the census date. Would it be better to just enter the year?
2 I am working with English census returns. Pupils are recorded as
scholars and again I have used the occupation event to record this fact
but "working as a Scholar" in a report doesn't sound correct. Would an
overiding comment such as "He was described as a scholar in the 1881
Census" sound better.
I don't record the Occupations separately to the Census Event, but where
someone's Occupation is recorded on, say, a Marriage Certificate, my
sentence would read something like "Occupation: On <date> his
occupation was given as <Occupation> on the Marriage Certificate of his
daughter Jane Smith."
