Son in law is on a 24 hour shift at the hospital on Sunday night. Does he put that down on the census form? I done a bit of family history so a bit concerned, in years to come, genealogist will think my daughter had no husband or he had left her. confused

He should be included in the household if he returns home the next day after finishing his shift.

In past census people have put the place they are at overnight on census night. ie Hospital, ship etc. Students are being asked to put both their home address and university address on the night of the census

So glad to be reminded. Now where did I put that form?

I'm confused about the doing it in advance thing. On the form it says to complete on or after the 21st. Not before.
I know a lot of people are going on-line and completing it in advance- but is it still taken as where they would be on the 21st or where they are on the date you fill it in?
