I'm looking at the 1920 census record and I'm thinking the census taker messes up in how he/she recorded the information. While Nella Jane and Nancy are listed under the mother-in-law with the surname Vogel -- I don't think the girls actually have the surname Vogel. It doesn't make sense that Vogel would have two daughters named Nella (Nella wife of Ernest and then daughter Nella Jane), but most telling is when you look at the birth location of the parents.

Nella, wife of Ernest, has born in Kansas with her parents listed as born in Kansas(father) and Virginia(mother) (image not totally clear)

The daughters have their parents as born in: England (father) and Kansas (mother) which would match with Ernest and Nella being their parents.

The mother-in-law is listed as born in Virginia which matches with Nella Richardson's information.

So I think the census taker messed up. The girls are Richardsons and not Vogels --- so the little sister angle doesn't apply here.
