John,
How do you know it's the same family?

I never thought of double checking for date discrepancies, but will now. I
think this would be an excellent opportunity to enter the second date using the
"alternate" heading, as it would show immediately that there is more than one
enumeration for that family for that census.

I use the date of enumeration for the reasons stated by others (records
date of residence, individuals or families listed twice). I have even found
one family listed in the 1880 census on June 2nd and the page was marked with a
stamp, "First enumeration rejected." Later I found the same family on another
page dated November 9th with a different surname spelling, at a different
address, and with different family members. I think the actual date of the
enumeration is essential. The official date is easily available and could be
entered in the Master Source "Comments" block.
