Or the ship is listed for the date they pulled into the harbor, and he counted from the date he stepped onto land. Or vice versa. He might not have known his exact age, or whoever trancribed the record made a mistake. People don't always know their age. They don't always remember dates exactly. Or the person who wrote the info on the ship got mixed up. Or misheard him. Ditto for her. If the rest fits, its close enough!! On her declaration of intent to become a citizen, my husband's grandmother had her age wrong, her marriage date wrong, her children's ages wrong. The reason? She was vain. She lied about her age and changed the other "facts" to fit. Sounds like you've got them! Congratulations! Janet C-S
