Have people ever lied to the census takers?

While researching a client’s ancestry, I came across a Jennie May Morrison, who on April 6, 1940, was recorded as living with her two daughters, declaring herself to be a married woman, but there is no husband listed. 6 days later, she appeared again in the census as the wife of Paul Morrison, with two different daughters. How could that be?


The second set of daughters were the children of Paul and another wife named Irma Fisher. Irma posed as Jennie May in the census, so that Paul couldn’t be accused of being a bigamist. How did we determine they were different ladies? The real Jennie May had a 6th-grade education (declared in the census), while Irma had a 12th- grade education. Either Irma committed fraud through identify theft, or Jennie gained 6 years worth of schooling in 6 days.
