Michele, I take it that you have version 7, and you mean Census Event and not Census Source. I do not have Census Events so inserted your phrase in a Birth Event. Went to Seach and Replace, select Notes-Events, Anywhere in the field, Replace only found text.... It was found and replaced with blank as requested. Hope this helps.
