Yes, I thought the opposite!
In France, I guess there was also a date for the census publication, but it means after analyse and new edition... What I often see when I look at censuses (sources) was the common references/rows: head of family, then spouse and all children. Persons might be also noted as died with the date of the event or children could have a comment for looking at an other address! One book or set of papers, by neighborhood.
'Official publications' could ignore these 'hand-written' additional details, and by looking at cross references, we can see that some people making censuses seem to want to know what happened since last census!
True, I cannot imagine that everyone in the country should stay at home and wait for the 'census event'! At the half of the 19th century, there was around 30 000 000 of citizens in France ... Around 60 000 parishes, before 19th century!
On the other hand, I prefer using residence event when the information is coming from an other trusted source. True, it could be a census, but often death, birth (parents), marriage, events; and when the person has the witness role on an event! Just because, I know that this person lived there at this day (event/source). If I get the same location/address during one period, I merge some residence events and change the date for having a period. If I know that this persons does not moved during this period, I use: 'from x to y', else 'between x and y', where 'x' and 'y' are the span dates!

Hello doug,
Note that the English census won't record someone who is
away over the period of the census.
Same in Wales and Scotland. I'm not sure about Northern Ireland or Eire.
So they can certainly be normally Resident there but not
Censused.
The reverse is true, too. That is, somebody not normally resident
there should be recorded, if they spend the night.
I would only record a residence event to indicate where someone is
normally resident, not where they might have only stayed for one
night. With the examples given, it is clear that Residence events
are different from Census events. A user may want to record both
from a single census source.
From the French example, it appears that I was wrong in suggesting
that census events are at a point in time, whereas a residence event
stretches over a period of time.
The census event also gives you a place to store other information
from the census source, other than address information.
Nick.
