In this case the term witness doesn't mean that they were actually present
when the census was taken. They were participants in the census in that
they were listed as part of the household. As a "witness", you would link
them to the census event with their appropriate role.

I just don't see how other members of a household listed in a census can
be called "witnesses". Some of those people probably weren't home at the
time the census taker was there i.e., at work or at school - so how can
they be called witnesses?
