What was a fun Sourcing adventure has led me back to G2G.
Originally Michael Leddy was b. 1849 in Vermont & d. 1916 in Vermont.
At some point Michael’s data was changed - he is now b. 1780 in Ireland and d. 1865 in Vermont. The “new” data agrees with the gravestone inscription from the FindAGrave memorial that was added at the time of the birth & death changes.
I am not sure if there are other contributing factors, but we have these suggestions associated with Michael:
1) 210 - Father was dead before birth - because: Michael Leddy died in 1865, ~13 years before the birth of his daughter Rose Anna (Leddy) Dorey in 1878. Her dob is substantiated by census, marriage and death references.
Note: Rose Anna’s marriage & death references both list her father as Michael Leddy b. in Shelburne, Vermont. (Mother is Mary Gill, b. In Vermont on both documents.)
2) 205 - Father is too young or not born - because: Michael Leddy was born in 1780, ~36 years before his father, Peter B. Leddy, was born in 1816.
3) 305 - Mother too young or not born - because: Michael Leddy was born in 1780, ~38 years before his mother, Margaret (Sheridan) Leddy, was born in 1818.
This is beyond my knowledge level, so here I am again, asking for some Data Doctor expertise. Please forgive any typos or misconceptions ... this has worn me out!
