I'll tell you something my grandmother told me in the 1970's when I was doing genealogy using census info, she said that usually, when the census taker came to the homes, the parents were out in the fields working or bringing food to the workers, and that the information was given to the census taker by the oldest child in the home, and sometimes by a neighbor!!So, if the years of age are a little off, then corrected in a later census, one can guess who was giving the information. LOL
