Don’t always assume that census ages are incorrect. I found the entry for my children’s grandmother in 1940 and I thought there had to be a mistake–as I knew there were no twins in the family and their children were listed with ages:
- Two 7 year olds
- One 5 year old
- One 4 year old
- One 2 year old
- One 1 year old
- One under a year–7/12
The ages were correct–just a lot of children close together and the census date combined with the birthdates didn’t help either.You can see the image here.
