Research Notes

• There's a conflict between Benjamin's birthdate and his sister, Ida's birthdate.
• According to Ida's Death Certificate, she was born 10 April 1887.
• According to her marriage certificate, she was 25 in Jan 1914, meaning she was born in 1887.
• According to the 1900 Census, Ida was 15, meaning she was born in 1885
• According to the 1910 Census, Ida was 20, meaning she was born in 1890.
• According to the 1920 Census, Ida was 33, meaning she was born in 1887.
• According to the 1930 Census, Ida was 42, meaning she was born in 1888.
• According to the 1940 Census, Ida was 52, meaning she was born in 1888.
• These conflicts may never be resolved, and I've left the birthdates as they are given in the records for each profile, but I suspect Ida was born in 1888.
• An April birth followed by a July birth is impossible.
• A July birth followed by an April birth is possible.
• It's also possible that Ida was born in 1886.
