Comment Detail: Source includes [married] name (Annie Miller). The name is an approved alteration, from the original Any Müller. It also includes her birth name (Annie Ruttenberg). The name is also an approved alteration, from the original Any Goodman. The latter is a significant alteration, not just an "Americanization" change.

Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Birth Date: This database uses Jan 1864. The 1910 US Census gives an age of (45), which, when applied to the official census date of 15 Apr 1910, gives a birth date range from 16 Apr 1864 to 15 Apr 1865. [census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
Birth Date: This database uses Jan 1864. The birth return for her son Sol gives an age of (21), which, when applied to the birth date of 22 Jan 1887, gives a birth date range from 23 Jan 1865 to 22 Jan 1866. [birth-sol-miller-1887]
Birth Location: This database uses Rossiyskaya Imperiya (Russian Empire). Her son Sol's birth return identifies her birth place as Poland. [birth-sol-miller-1887]
Surname: This database uses Ruttenberg. The marriage certificate and record for her son, Charles, uses an unclear spelling. It seems to start "Ro" followed by "th" or "tt". In either case, it is clearly too short, and doesn't seem to match her surname beyond a general feeling the person filling in the form wanted to use something like "Rothenberg" but couldn't be bothered to finish it. This also raises the question, was her surname actually Rothenberg, not Ruttenberg? [marriage-miller-rizzi-1923]
SPELLING
Given Name: This database uses Annie. The 1910 US Census uses the apparent spelling Amia, though this is likely due to the sloppy reading; the name can be interpreted as Anna, a reasonable nickname for Annie, assuming it was written too quickly. [census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
Given Name: This database uses Anna. Her daughter Edith's marriage record with Max. Blumberg uses Hanna. [marriage-blumberg-miller-1911]
Surname: This database uses Ruttenberg. The marriage certificate and her son, Sol's first marriage with Sadie Koven, and second marriage with Anna Slepian, use the spelling Rutenberg. [marriage-miller-koven-1911, marriage-miller-slepian-1923]
FOLLOWUP
The 1900 US Census indicates her parents were Russian, and the 1910 US Census indicates her parents were born in Russia-Polish[sic], likely due to political changes. It notes the same birthplace change for her. [census-us-1900-ps-ny-newyork-65-15a, census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
The birth return for her son Sol, originally noted that her married surname (and her husband's and son's) was Müller, but this was altered to Miller; the alteration approved by the Commissioner of Health. Did Asher "Americanize" his name? [birth-sol-miller-1887]
As of her son Sol's birth, she was noted as the mother of two children, of whom one (obviously Sol) was still living. However, this is in conflict with the 1900 US Census, but aligns with the 1910 US Census (see note below). [birth-sol-miller-1887]
Living with the Asher and Annie Miller family in 1900 was Minnie Leicheter, 22, a native of Austria, who immigrated in 1897, and who was working as a servant for the family. [census-us-1900-ps-ny-newyork-65-15a]
Living with the Arber[Asher] and Amia[Annie] Miller family in 1910 was Dora[?] Kirshbauer[?], 22, a native of Austria, who immigrated in 1905, and who was working as a servant for the family. [census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
The 1900 US Census notes that Annie was the mother of 6 children, of whom 6 were still living on the 1900 census date, although the total number of children is poorly written and could be misread. However, the 1910 US Census notes she had 8 children, 6 of whom were still living, suggesting she had two more children after Charles, both of whom died before the 1910 census date. [census-us-1900-ps-ny-newyork-65-15a, census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
There is a Borough of Bronx, NYC, NY death certificate #1425 for Anna Miller, born 22 Jul 1863, died 23 Feb 1916. However she was married (this was several years after the death of Asher) and her father's surname was Meyer. Her birthplace was also identified as Germany, but changing borders in Europe could affect this.
