Hmm! While many women indicated for years that they were younger than
their actual age, it sounds like your GM may have wanted to be older for
some reason. You might find it interesting to see if you could find a
reason for that. Possibly her marriage certificate might indicate that she
was older so that they could be married without parent's approval or
something like that.
