I'm at a stalemate with my 2g grandfather. I have him chuffing off to India and someone else has him disappearing and ending up in NZ. He could not do both.

My problem is I can't find any evidence of his actual date of birth, I have the year and place. The other people have this : My grandma (or great grandma) had his DOB in her birthday book.

This is wonderful except her grandma was born years after he died. Any info I can find about her gg father that would have been provided by him contradicts the DOB and parents they have for him. Someone obviously found a name that matched theirs and latched on to the DOB.

On the other hand my great granny lived with my 2g grandfather for many years and was an adult when he died. She bought his birth cert, I would think she'd know she had the right one and the details of which match up with other info I have found. My problem is she bought it after his death so there is room for error.
