1/14/2018 DOB has been resolved. Lila Johns Sears gave birth to two daughters each Madine.
First:
Madine Sears
1915–1915
BIRTH 31 JUL 1915 • Huntington, Chittenden, Vermont
DEATH 4 AUG 1915 • Huntington, Chittenden, Vermont
Second:
Madine Eleanor Sears
1919–2000
BIRTH 19 JUL 1919 • Huntington, Chittenden, Vermont
DEATH 22 JUN 2000 • Rutland, Rutland, Vermont
2/20/2016 DOB on birth certificate is 7/31/1916
Death certificate has 7/19/1919
Marriage certificate has her at age 16 in 1935 which would make the 1919 birth year, and it also shows the 19th day, not 31st. As I've found 7/19/19 on several documents, I have to believe that the birth certificate is a clerical error.
2/20/2016 DOD on the death certificate is 6/22/2000, not 7/22/2000 which was first recorded on this page.
