Although the SSDI shows his birth date as Mar 9 1917, his military records and obituary have it as Mar 9 1918, and date on headstone is also 1918. Note (2) Age 21 in Aug 1946 marriage record would put birth in about 1925, birth date on headstone is 1926, and her birth date appears on her death record as Aug 23 1926. But her age in the 1930 Census (enumerated in April) was seven months, age in 1940 Census was 10, and her birth record shows her birth date as Aug 23 1929.
