Census returns are secondary records, which means you can't trust that given/assumed information is true and certainly not one census record.......... you need to find primary records to prove information is real and ideally you need to find all and any record one person generated during their lifetime and cross reference the information on them.
My great grandmothers information on where she was born, when she was born ( age) was different on each record, her death cert makes her 10yr older than she really was and her grave stone too as it was given information from her daughter my gran so presumerably my gran was told by her ...the only way I found/proved her real age was to find her baptism record and was able then to apply for her birth cert...she married a man 25 yrs older than her so I presume she didn't want anyone knowing the huge age difference
