Bob: I can no longer remember the genealogical savant who shared this with me, but it was his opinion that Older Women were not above shaving a few years off their ages for Census enumerators in decades past. He cited a number of instances where he had found this to be so. But it would not be PC to so generalize today. So I pass this on merely as a curiousity of the primitive viewpoints of our unenlightened past. Doc
