We spent time this week reviewing census tips, such as "spelling doesn't count!" One of the main points discussed was to check all of the census columns for additional information. You can find approximate marriage dates, immigration and naturalization years, Civil War service, number of marriages, etc. In some cases it is indicated who provided the information.
One additional fact: if you scroll down below the search field for each census, Ancestry lists the facts about that particular census, such as questions asked, unique features, and/or problems. This is true for British, Canadian and the U. S. Censuses.
