(NOTE: The birthdate of Stacey Douglass is shown in the 1900 Census to be June 1893, and in SSDI to be Jun 16 1893. It appears that he provided the wrong year for his marriage record to minimize the age difference with his bride.), MR p. 491. Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in death record and on headstone as Aug 1 1900. But marriage record states Aug 1 1901, and age 29 in 1930 Census would also put it in about 1901. Note (2) Age 27 in 1930 Census would put birth in about 1903. But age in 1920 Census was 13, and birth date was given in marriage record as Nov 29 1907.
