Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Birth Date: This database uses 2 Nov 1902. The Marriage Certificate for Harold and Ida Heathershaw includes his age (46). Using his age and the marriage date of 4 Nov 1955 gives a birth date range from 5 Nov 1908 to 4 Nov 1909. It it possible this was a lie to look younger to his bride? [marriage-morgan-heathershaw-1955]
Birth Location: This database uses Pilger, Stanton County, Nebraska. The 1945 SD Census cards for his daughter Audrey and son Clifford give it as Iowa. Since his father was born in Iowa, could this have been some sort of confusion, either on Harold or Ruby (whoever provided the information) and the assessor who took it?
