===================== DEATH CERTIFICATES

------------------------------------------ JAMES WILLIAM EDMONDS --
NOTE APRIL 1888 DOES NOT MATCH JULY 1887 AS SEEN ON SS CARD, OR JUNE 1888 AS SEEN ON HIS WWII REG CARD, BUT THE NUMBER FROM THE DC MATCHES THE SSDI.
Remember that birth dates on death certificates are NOT PRIMARY evidence. They are subjective.
He didn't have a real birthdate in 1918 on his WWI registration card but I'll go with the SS date because
it was HIS information 30 years before he died,
not third hand from son who informed on his death certificate who wasn't there at his birth.
