Events

Event Date Place Description Sources
Birth November 23, 1915 Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States   1a
Event Note

Mary R Feran's Social Security Application said she was born 23 November 1915, but her Social Security Death Index said 23 November 1916. I don't know how the two could be different, unless someone transcribed one of them wrong when putting them online. They both come from the same government agency. I picked 1915 because it agrees better with her census information which says she was 5 in 1920. Her birth record would say for sure.

both lived in the "same place" in 1935. That usually meant the same city but not the same house. But they were at this same address in 1930, so maybe there was a misunderstanding recording the information.
