EE identifies five common citation situations using semicolons:


1. separating major elements in a complex situation
2. separating a source from a discussion of that source
3. separating the original source from its derivative form
4. separating multiple sources cited in the same reference note
5. separating the source from its source


#2 and #4 wouldn't seem to apply.”


#2 is exactly which of these situations applies. Our notation as to what Ancestry cites is exactly “discussion of that source,” with “that source” being Ancestry’s digital image/database of the census. Hence the semi-colon.
