This person’s birthdate was originally set to “after 1870,” which I think was meant to be “about 1870.” This date seems to have been estimated from the son’s birthdate of 1892. However, the only Canada Census record that shows that son in a household of parents of the right name shows parents born in the 1840s. Percy was not the only child, and he was one of their youngest. As such, I have changed Barnet’s birthdate to what the censuses said.
