A question about accuracy in the parish records. I have verified the information I found about the family of Thomas D. Davies from the IGI. The parish records I found listed the birth dates and christening dates of four children to this family. (There were others, but I may not have been aware of them when I was looking.) My question is this: My gr-gr-grandmother, Elinor (or Ellen) Davies, is listed on this record as having been born on July 16, 1835 and christened 13 Sep 1835. However, EVERY other record I have found, including the 1841 census of Blaenpenal, Cardiganshire, the 1850 Census of Jackson County, Ohio, her death certificate and written family records put her birthdate in August of 1834-- almost a year earlier. Should I go with the parish record? I suppose it is possible that she didn't know her real birthdate. I welcome suggestions, on or off the list. Thanks, Kathi Jenkins Elliott
