Have seen this and tried to rectify but I'm apparently doing something wrong:  for person Kinsey-2378 and it says "Multiple duplicated lines" . . . there are a few Census links but can't seem to figure out what they're referring to in the warning.

This is caused by the headings lines of the multiple tables. As you can see in the suggestion the text it is talking about is:

| Name || Sex || Age || Status || Relati...

This suggestion can be marked as "False suggestion (hide forever)".

I talked with Aleš about this suggestion being triggered by citations back in September last year. He said "This was intended to find bad gedcoms with a lot of text copied multiple times". He put in a few tweaks at the time to try to avoid the false suggestions. Maybe he could add some more to ignore lines starting with "| " and with " || " in them. Or ignore all lines inside tables.

EDIT: I have sent Aleš a message to let him know about this post.

I added these four lines as exceptions and they will no longer show up.

<excludestartline>"| Name || Sex || Age || Status || Relati"</excludestartline>

<excludestartline>"| Name || Relation || Status || Sex || A"</excludestartline>

<excludestartline>"| Name || Relation || Sex || Age || Occu"</excludestartline>

<excludestartline>"| Name || Relation || Sex || Age || Stat"</excludestartline>

Give this a try: in your tables replace the (duplicated) lines containing
| Name || Sex || Age || Occupation || Birth Place
with
! Name !! Sex !! Age !! Occupation  !Birth Place

It will look the same other than the heading will be bold face.

I have many profiles with several census tables and to not get this suggestion

That is not the best solution. I added 
| Name || Sex || Age || Occupation || Birth Place
to the ignored lines and those lines will no longer show up as suggestions.
