In that case we have to return to the conclusion that she lied purposefully to the census taker to gain some sort of advantage for whatever reason.

The most reasonable reason that I can think of would be that a women living alone and/or with children was dangerous and somewhat in need of protection in those dark days after the war. Therefore she was prepetuating the myth that she was not in fact living alone.
