Just as an FYI Census takers made many mistakes. My great-grandmother was according to the census 45 for over 30 years. They also had her listed as being born in Ct and Ny over that timespan in fact she was born in Ireland. The other thing is that people were leary of the census takers and didn't always give correct information on purpose.
You might want to consider all those factors.
