Birth date

This profile had 1894 as a birth year, no source given. His NZ military file gives 4 May 1894 as date of birth, however it was common for military files to have incorrect birth years -- either due to ignorance of their own age; or fudging their age to meet age criteria for enlistment in the military.

There is a GRO registration in 1895 2nd quarter for him , and there are further corroborating sources to show that this is the correct registration (as opposed to another child of the same name). The Genealogy of David Barnes at WikiTree Old Wolf 2 (talk) 02:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
