Spencer twins, Mason Co. KY b.1896-1897
Searching for any info on parents of twins AMELIA OPAL and ALTON GEORGE Spencer.Born in Maysville KY, 16 SEP 1896 or 1897,Actual
image of 1900 census forms give Sep 1896 as
birthdate, all other data gives 16 Sep 1897.
1900 Census gives father as WILLIAM Spencer, b. Jun 1874, Harness maker, widowed, wife Lena ?, d. 1900.MI looks like F.
1910 Miracode KY index now says father is
Frank H. Spencer, Alton and Opal both listed
as 12 now.Wife, I presume second, is MYRETE, 30 yr old.
I'm brand new at this, How accurate are these records? Is it common for ages to be off a year or two?When indexes are compiled, is it common or possible for a handwritten Frank W. to become Frank H?
How often do first and middle names get flipped around on data?Is it reasonable to think William F, William Frank, Frank W. may
all be same person?Thanks.
