Question

William was married on 9 June 1888 at age 22,

He died on 10 September 1913 at age 48.

I figure he was born between somewhere 10 June and 9 September 1865.

I'm uncertain enough to seek a second opinion.

It may depend also on how accurate the 22 and 48 were.  Was he already 22, or almost 22, or in his 22nd year?

Same with the death -  was he actually 48, or in his 48th year, or so close to turning 48 that they used it instead of 47?

Mostly, though, I'd go with what you figured -- born between 10 June and 9 September 1865.

Or use "born in 1865, seemingly between 10 June and 9 September based on his given ages at marriage and death".
