Rebecca Margaret Hunter

• Name	Rebecca Margaret Hunter
  Born	4 Dec 1855	Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts, United States   [1, 2]
  	The birth certificate was an extract and says she was born 11 December 1855, but the original birth ledger from Lawrence shows 4 December. The original registrar used ditto marks to indicate the same day as above and the person creating the birth certificate apparently misread them as 11.
  		Rebecca Hunter birth certificate Note incorrect date when compared with original record. In this record the certifier read the ditto marks as "11".
