Hi everyone. I noticed two different deathdates for Mary Davis. Census of 1900 shows that Mary was born in July, 1869. Her death certificate shows that she was born on June, 1866. Her sister Jennie Silva(my great grandmother) was born on March, 1870/or 1871. I feel that July, 1869 is more accurate. She was same person athough because she was married with same man Joseph Davis and children's names are match. What do you think about deathdates? Both ladies were born in SF. I have no idea where they were baptized. I believe that they were baptized at Catholic Church because they were Portuguese family. I am still working on search for their father Antone Silva's death records and deathplace. I am looking forward to hear from you soon. Adrienne Stefanik Get more from the Web.

Hi Adrienne, I think you're right in picking the date on the census.People are upset when filling out details on death certificates.I've seen in my own family where the parents names were wrong on a death cerificate.Sometimes, the answeree gives what they remember but it may not be correct.
