Care to point us to some independent verifiable source for these two numbers (and an explanation of what a parent without children could possibly mean - doesn't "parent" imply the existence of children???)

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the former was for all single parent families and the latter was for single parent families with children (i.e. plural). The first includes households with only 1 child, the second does not.
