Last Saturday on the National Archives event Census surgery: behind the 1921 census , Audrey Collins said TNA has not yet finalised the most accurate method of referencing specific household schedules. She said the full reference given on FMP transcriptions contains all the relevant information, but...

Peter, I wanted a similar function and have used a Family As Child Note for each individual which I have displayed in an extra field in the individual property box (underneath the standard Note field) and in an added column in the individuals records window.
