George, You can elect to add only those that you believe to be related but, as has already been pointed out, you risk missing someone who later turns out to be a relative, or becomes a relative at a date after the census in question. AS auto-creates a text version of the census entry, which I use to record the information from the census verbatim, and also manually include any apparently extraneous individuals also present in the household on census day for whom I have not created a record. I also use this to include selected persons, for example from an institution or vessel (you would not want to include every single convict in a prison, or every sailor on a ship, for example!).

Obviously, they do not belong there, but if I remove them I assume they will be removed from the census data too, which means my census record is incomplete. If my assumption is correct, how do other users manage the situation? I am toying with the idea of omitting them from the census but adding a note saying, for example, "There were also 2 servants and a visitor present".
