I have been researching my wife’s family tree for her application. Her great great grandfather was named Isaac Hall and he was from Howard, Kent, Ontario. He immigrated to Michigan as a child, but we do have a Canadian census so I think he’s a good G0.
I have a birth record for him from 1876 found on family search. His mother is listed as Hannah Moody. I think this may be an error. I have a marriage record from 1870 for his parents, his parents Robert Hall and Hannah Lee. They had a child 2 years before Isaac with Hannah Lee listed on the birth record, then had a child 2 years after Isaac with again, Hannah Lee listed as the mother. I’ll attach all those pics.
The 1881 census has him as 6 years old and the two brothers are in the household, however, it’s quite hard to read.
I obtained Isaac’s death certificate from Michigan and I know it’s the correct one because the informant was his daughter who we are sure is the right person. The date of birth matches the birth record but mom is listed as Hannah Lee. Isaac’s mom is also listed as Hannah Lee on his marriage certificate to his wife. The only inconsistent mother’s name is on the birth record.
Is this problematic for IRRC?
I have searched for a Hannah Moody from that area that married perhaps a different Robert Hall or similar name born around 1849 and nothing comes up. The only thing I can find is a Hannah Moody that was born in the area 2 years before Isaac. Should I provide that or just hold onto it in case there’s questions? Just wondering how to best explain this inconsistency and offer proof.
