Depending on the US censuses, I have different birth dates for my
Azorian grandfather...and he could read and write English!

I have marriage license and marriage certificate from the church that
put my GG grandfathers year of birth in 1872, have an obituary that
would put his birthday in 1867, a headstone that would put it in 1867,
a newspaper story that indicates his birth would have been in 1868 and
the census that would put it in 1870. So until I can somehow find the
village he came from and then locate a birth certificate, knowing that
he couldn't read or write how accurate would someone be with knowing
the year of his own events and happenings?
Are these variations in dates commonplace among the portuguese of
those times?
