5+2  = 7  divided by 2 = 3.5, round up to 4 and you have  47. 
Maybe  the enumerator couldn’t remember who was in which house and decided 
to split  the difference. <grin>

Found a real good one today, off in my distant  cousins on the eastern 
seaboard and find father and son two doors apart  in the 1860 census both listed 
as age 47, nice try guys but dad was 57  and son was 27. 
 

 
Love to know how that got where it got  to.
 

 
And I would really love to show it to the lady at  North Bend FHC who 
insisted I had to assume the information was more or  less correct.
