WFT # 3213 shows place of birth as Lindsay, Ontario. 1900 and 1910 census shows born in Canada. (We had an alternate birthplace of Avon, NY. It is unclear what the source of that was - possibly just a guess based on another family member's birthplace).
1900 census shows birthdate as May 1860, we had May 1, 1859 previously (uncertain what the source of that was)
1900 census age of 40 agrees with the 1860 date, but 1910 census age of 50 in April agrees with the 1859 date.
