Can I link census records which have already been added in FH to newly relevant individuals?
As an example, I do not create FH individuals for servants or lodgers, but include them in the transcript. In more than one instance, the lodger has ended up marrying into the family, so they do not have the census entry.
It would be a pain if I have to redo the census thru GC!

New relevant persons on old census entries
In Family Historian you need to copy and paste the events from someone else who appears in the census record:
1) find someone who appears in the census record you are referring to.
2) Look at their events and select the one for the census in question.
3) Click on the 'Copy Events/Attributes' button which is under the list of events.
4) Now select the new individual, look at their properties and choose the Events tab.
5) Click on the 'Paste Events/Attributes'
6) Edit the age to reflect the age of the person as reported at that time in the census.
Repeat above steps for occupation if recorded.
Hope this helps
