Hello - would anyone have a guess as to why two children would be listed out of order by age?
My great-grandmother was 14 in 1920, yet her half-sister (who was 8) is listed before her in the census records. We've heard that she might have possibly been adopted. When her mother died in 1911, rather than continuing to live with her father, she was sent to live with her grandmother in another town. Later after her grandmother died in 1914, she was sent back to live with her father and his new family.
This is very strange so if anyone has a guess as to why this happened, any insight is very much appreciated!
