There is some slight differences in the 1900 US Fed Rhode Island census , which states that both husband (Henry) and Mary were born in 1876. It only gives the month of August for Mary with no specific day stated. While Henry has a more specific DOB from a military registration card.
Memory of living relative
The Newport Rhode Island 1910 US Fed census shows that at age 34, they had been married 12 years and had 5 children, however only 3 were living. We have been told by my Aunt Polly, that Henry and Alice died as babies. However, Rosa shows up in the 1910 as being 1 year old, however we don't have another listing of her in the 1930 census, BUT this could be because she moved out as an adult?

WE HAVE NOT PINNED DOWN MARY'S BIRTH DATE nor have we found the DOB of the children who died near their birth.
