  • The Correspondence - New York State Index for Birhts - Citation 1 <a class='endnote' href='#cite1'>[1]</a> asserts that no entry for Oliver James birth was found between 1900 and 1906. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    The reliability of this index is currently unknown. However, it indicates no entry for Oliver James birth was found between 1900 and 1906. This suggests several possibilities:

    • Oliver was born outside this date range
    • Oliver was born outside the state
    • Oliver is listed in the index under a different spelling, and was not located because the librarian

    If Oliver is not actually listed, it is inconsistent with all other known sources.

  • The 1910 Federal Census - James - Citation 1 (375)<a class='endnote' href='#cite4'>[4]</a> asserts that Oliver H James was born between 16 Apr 1903 and 15 Apr 1904. This assertion is associated with 1 other subject(s): Ida E James (I700074231889). A review of this assertion states:

    This source actually asserts Oliver H. James was 26 when the census was enumerated on 10 Feb 1910. All questions were to reflect 15 April 1910. Given this information we can calculate Oliver was born was born between 16 Apr 1903 and 15 Apr 1904.

  • The 1915 New York State Census - James - Citation 1 (375)<a class='endnote' href='#cite5'>[5]</a> asserts that Oliver James was born betwee 2 Jun 1903 and 1 Jun 1904. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    This census recorded the name of each person living in home on 1 June 1915. ((https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/New_York_State_Census,_1915_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records)))

    This range fits within the general time frame of other known sources.

  • The 1920 Federal Census - James - Citation 1 (S322)<a class='endnote' href='#cite6'>[6]</a> asserts that Oliver James was born between between 2 Jan 1903 and 1 Jan 1904. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    This source actually asserts Oliver H. James was 26 when the census was enumerated on 10 Feb 1920. All questions were to reflect 1 Jan 1920. Given this information we can calculate Oliver was born was born between 2 Jan 1903 and 1 Jan 1904.

  • The Marriage Certificate - James - Citation 1 (192)<a class='endnote' href='#cite7'>[7]</a> asserts that Oliver James was born between 24 Dec 1901 and 23 Dec 1902. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    According to subsequent divorce records, Oliver may have lied about his age in order to marry, then preagnent, Rachel Edwards. According those documents indivduals were required to be 21 to marry without their parrents present at the time. Oliver was presented with the option of marrying Rachel or face breach of peace charges.

    This may explain why the birth certificate is inconsistant with outher sources.

  • The Birth Certificate - William James - Citation 1 (S213)<a class='endnote' href='#cite8'>[8]</a> asserts that Oliver James was born between 25 Mar 1899 and 24 Mar 1900. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    William James is Oliver James' only known son. The informant for Oliver's information on his William's birth certificate is not recorded, but is likly Rachel Edwards. Given the contriversy surrounding William's birth and his parent's marriage it is likley not correct. According to William he never knew his father. Likewise the his parent's divorce records state they never lived togeather, it's likley the informant was Rachel and she simply didn't know much about Oliver's date of birth.

  • The Divorce Documents - James - Deposition of Hezekiah - Citation 1 (S285)<a class='endnote' href='#cite9'>[9]</a> asserts that Oliver H. James claimed after to 19 May 1904. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    In a failed attempt to have his marriage annulled rather than allow Rachel Edwards to win a divorce Oliver claimed not to have been 21 at the time of the marriage. At the time, Connecticut state law required a parent to be present if an individual was under 21 ((Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Probate Court, Deposition of Hezekiah R. Elwood, Page 4, 29 May 1929, case 5702, Oliver H. James vs Rachael James; Massachusetts State Archive, Boston.)), thus hopefully invalidating the marriage. There are no comments specifically on this assertion, but a divorce was granted rather than an annulment.

    Given a birth date of 14 Nov 1904 and their marriage date of 23 Dec 1923, (( State of Connecticut Bureau of Vital Statistics, Marriage Certificate (23 Dec 1923), Oliver James and Rachel Winch Edwards; Town Of Fairfield.)) Oliver would have been 19 years 1 month 1 week 2 days when he was married. This supports both Oliver&#146;s claims in is patition for annulment (( Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Probate Court, Petition for Annulment, Page 1, 8 Mar 1929, case 5702, Oliver H. James vs Rachael James; Massachusetts State Archive, Boston. )) and supports the date of birth on his SS-5.

  • The 1930 Federal Census - Citation James<a class='endnote' href='#cite10'>[10]</a> asserts that Oliver H. James was born between 2 Apr 1903 and 1 Apr 1904. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    This source actually asserts Oliver H. James was 26 when the census was enumerated on 11 April 1930. All questions were to reflect 1 April 1930. Given this information we can calculate Oliver was born was born between 2 Apr 1903 and 1 Apr 1904.

  • The 1940 Federal Census - Citation James (S321)<a class='endnote' href='#cite11'>[11]</a> asserts that Oliver O James was born between 2 Apr 1903 and 1 Apr 1904. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    This source actually asserts Oliver H. James was 36 when the census was enumerated on 11 April 1940. All questions were to reflect 1 April 1940. Given this information we can calculate Oliver was born was born between 2 Apr 1903 and 1 Apr 1904.

  • The Death Certificate - Oliver James - Citation 1 (S268)<a class='endnote' href='#cite12'>[12]</a> asserts that Oliver H. James was born between 23 Dec 1902 and 22 Dec 1903. This assertion is not associated with other subjects. A review of this assertion states:

    This source actually asserts "Oliver H James was 72 when he died on 22 Dec 1975." Given this information we can calculate Oliver was born between 23 Dec 1902 and 22 Dec 1903. determine his date of birth was 1903.

    This source does not list the informant, theirfor it is impossible to determine the reliablity non death information. For example, how can did the informant know Oliver was 72 years old if the date of birth is unable to be determined? While this source may by itself be reliable for non-death related facts, this calculated date of birth fits within the general time frame provided by other evidence.
