Census Notes for Pearl & Mary Peach (Family)
1940 census of Morgan Co., Ky, ED 88-8, enumerated 2 April, lists on p. 1B as family #9:
Back, Pearl, 27, farmer; Peach, wife, 23; Maxine, dau, 8; Hurshel, son, 5; Bettie, dau, 3; Robert Melvin, son, 1. All born in Kentucky, living in same place in 1935.
Peach is on one of the lines with supplemental questions. They report that she has only been married once, that she was 14 at the age of her first marriage, and that she has given birth to four children. The age at first marriage is incorrect, but so is her age on this census. She was really 27 in April 1940.
