In 1930 Lucy, Bert's mother, said she was 16 when she first married. Her first child was Bert, born in 1872 or 1873. The earliest records for Bert (1880, 1900, 1910 and 1918) support this, but later records (including his will, death certificate and tombstone) provide conflicting information. Bert cannot have been born in 1864 (as inscribed on his tombstone) when Lucy would have been about 8 years old.
When Bert's son, Herbert, was born on February 11, 1896 (according to Herbert's delayed birth certificate, filed December 17, 1941), it was stated that Bert was 23 years of age when Herbert was born. So Bert would have turned 24 in October 1896, hence born in 1872. As of September 2021, a memorial for Herbert is posted with a birth date of February 11, 1897 (at odds with his delayed birth certificate). Using 1897, Bert would have turned 24 in October 1897, hence born in 1873.
In 1900 the census reported Bert at 27 years of age, born in October of 1872. When he registered for the draft in 1918, Bert stated he was born Oct 13, 1873. Neither record can be relied upon for absolute accuracy. Bert's son, Herbert, was the informant for Bert's death certificate.
