It's been transcribed incorrectly. Her age is 24, same as his!

Hmm...just had another look at it. You can definitely see that 24 has been written but there is a squiggly mark over part of the 4. Maybe the enumerator tried to scribble a bit of the 4 off so that it looked more like 21?? (perhaps she was 21 and he'd made a mistake and put 24 at first?) Either way, she's definitely not 2 yrs LOL. You do see some funny things being transcribed, eh?
