Holly,
I've made use of the Event Census Sentence Definitions and use the
option without entering a place for this situation.
My great grandfather wasn't with his family and I haven't been able to
find him elsewhere.
I have for the sentence with Desc and Date but no Place
For the census [onDate] [FirstHeShe] [Desc].[Sources][:if
[Notes]::[CR][Notes]]
For my great grandfather this reads:
"For the census on 06 Jun 1841 he was not at home and has not been found
elsewhere."
The Event Notes detail my searches but mostly in Privacy Brackets. He
was only 8 and one of his younger sisters is also missing though I may
have found her with friends. She has a more unusual name. Common surname.
I don't think they were just missed out as their father was the
Enumerator for the neighbouring district so I'm sure he would have
filled out the schedule form for his own family himself.

*Subject:* [LegacyUG] Census
I have an unusual question. My father was born in 1918 (I have his
birth certificate, and mutiple corroborations of this). He appears
with his family on the 1930 and 1940 census, but is not listed on the
1920 census. His parents are there, as well as his older brothers.
My thoughts about how to handle this are to make an event for the 1920
census (that is how I handle all the census reports) and note that he
is not listed on it, though parents and older siblings are.
Is there a better way to note this apparent error?
Holly
