When I don't have a handwritten date in for the census then I use the official date. This usually only happens on the very early censuses. On the later census if the page doesn't have a date if you look at the previous page or maybe one more before that (or one after) you will find the date you need.

Maybe in a high percentage of cases it would not make a difference but there are times when you discover migration it is good to have the correct and total date to make the story of that person clearly understood.
