Possible? 1851 was taken on 30th March, 1861 on 7th April. If one was born between those dates they would have been 7 last birthday 1851 and 18 in the next one.

Hi I have found something puzzling on some of the censuses .
In 1851 there are twins listed . William Morgan and Thomas Morgan , both 7 years old But on the 1861 census William's age is given as 18 and Thomas as 17.
Would it be done to give priority to an older son to inherit ?
