If so then select the UK constituent country and the year and the enumeration date appears in the the box below the year. However, I suspect that you are under a misapprehension. Within the UK the individual country’s census date is the same as the date of enumeration. Unlike some countries, USA. comes to mind, all our census happen over one night and are not spread over a period of months.

Are you talking USA Census? I have just had a look at my UK census and can't see any enumeration date - bummer.

Why? I have found at least 2 families that are enumerated twice because they moved during the census. Knowing the enumeration date tells me about when they may have moved.
