David, The published date field for an online source is reserved for the year when the document/database was initially published if you can locate that information. For Ancestry.com databases, it is always available in their citation.

Hi everyone, Just interested to see what people do here. What information would people put in the 'published date' section of the sourcewriter template if the information is found online at ancestry.com? 1851? It is the 1851 census of England, so is there any point in putting it twice? 2005? Or would folk copy the whole sentence? "1851 England Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2005. Original data: Census Returns of England and Wales, 1851. Kew, Surrey, England: The National Archives of the UK (TNA): Public Record Office (PRO), 1851. Data imaged from the National Archives, London, England."
