In the 1900 census, Ester (Esther) matches M L of 1880. Note that the 1900 census birth date cannot be right, since in the 1880 census, she was already reported as 3 months old. So Esther's birth date was actually about March 1880, not 1881, as the 1900 census reports.

Also, ML in the 1880 census matches the daughter Molly L, who is not named in the 1900 census, and is most closely matched by Miinnie E, with a birth date reported in 1900 as August 1879. But we have additional records for both Minnie and Molly in later years. M L's age in 1880 more closely matches most records we have for Minnie otherwise. So the discrepancies cannot be accounted for here.
