How is it possible to have an 13 yr old son-in-law? I've got confused and can't work it out

Thanks

He is more likely to be a step-son. A common mistake made on the census

The term son in law wasnt used in the same context as today. usually meant the son from a previous marriage or relationship of one of the parties.ie step son.
