(Do not know who was answering the 1920 & 1930 census but obviously Lewis/Louis James Murphy was born in Ohio not New Orleans, Louisiana).The various censustakers spelled Lewis/Louis however they felt like, most likely did not ask for a spelling from the folks they were interviewing.
Hope the above helps in solving your mystery.
