I have wondered the same thing. My aunt did the same thing. On her marriage license she stated her age as two years younger then her real age, and then in the next census she stated her real age. I have wondered if she made herself younger than she really was because her husband was four years younger? Was it not appropriate for a women to marry a man four years younger than herself but it was OK to marry someone two years younger?
