Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Birth Date: This database uses May 1891. The 1910 US Census gives an age of (19), which, when applied to the official census date of 15 Apr 1910, gives a birth date range from 16 Apr 1890 to 15 Apr 1891. [census-us-1910-ps-ny-newyork-543-5b]
FOLLOWUP
Harry and sibling Rose's birthdates are quite close. Was Rose actually born earlier, or Harry later?
Asher and Annie Miller's children, including Sol (and his family), Rose, Harry, Sadie, and Charles, but not Edith, were living at the same address (house number and street) in 1915, but in two separate households. Florance[sic] Powell (30) was also living in a third household at this address (consisting only of herself), but her relationship with the Millers, if any, is unknown. [census-us-ny-1915-newyork-newyork-5-23-36]
A death certificate for Harry may exist in the New York municipal archives (a860-hist6oricalvitalrecords.nyc.gov). Certificate 5017, Borough of Manhattan, 1945. However, when I looked, the image was empty, so I can't verify anything in the record.
There is a gravesite for Harry W. Miller in Elmwood Cemetery, West Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, New York. However, this is far removed from New York City, and is likely a different person. His upright grave marker is shared with wife Lena C. Engwer, and possible daughter Mildred Miller and her husband, Joseph Fleming.
