Note that even though Eurich is reported as 21 years old, this also says he was first married at age 23! From what we find in earlier censuses (which were found later) his age in 1930 hould have been 27. But his wife Eva is reported as being 21 and marrying at 18. Going by this, married three years ago, Eyrick's age would be 26 or 27.
This information led to a 1920 census that seems to represent this family. There are a few discrepancies and questions that come up. Muriel's brother Eurich matches pretty well, with the name spelled Eyrick, and the same unusual middle initial of V. The clincher seems to be that Alice Eynon was born in England and the children's father in Wisconsin, as in the 1930 census. All the children were born in Utah, as in 1920.
Though these critical details match, there are some discrepancies in ages. Eyrick V is 17 in 1920 and Eurich V only 21, instead of 27 in 1930. The unusual facts about the parents, however, would seem to make this a sure match. But we learn here also that Eurich had a twin brother, Cyril O.
Knowing of two children from the 1930 census, I expected Louise to match Muriel. But ages and different initials made this problematic. It became clear when I discovered the 1910 census indicating two daughters and the twin sons. More detail was filled in with each successive step back in time as the records turned up in searches. Muriel's age was also reported as 10 years too young in the 1930 census, further throwing off the identification. She was 11 years old in 1910.

Eynon, F Louise Dau F W 13 Utah Wisconsin England [abt 1916]
Muriel's age in 1910 does not match her age in the 1930 census, when she and her brother Eyrick are both reported as 21. He should be 27 and she should be 31. She was already 11 years old in 1910. I think that should be the definitive reference point. So she is reported as 10 years younger than she should be in 1930!
Louise's age matches 1920 census age. The agreement on the twins' age in 1910 and 1920 makes up for the discrepancy in Eyrick's age in the 1930 census.

In the 1920 city directory, Muriel is not listed but her brothers Cyril and Erick are in the directory, along with some other Eynons, who may be cousins.
