    I believe this is correct interpretation of the birth record. The first line on the page says 1887. All of the rest of the entries do not have a year entered, but have ditto (") marks for same as above. Which would mean all entries are 1887. But, the entry right above Leonard was changed by crossing out the ditto mark and writing 1888. It is noted that it was changed in the 1950's. A brief glance at Leonards' entry reveals a ditto mark directly under 1888, which would indicate he was born in 1888. But looking at the page as a whole it is obvious that the ditto marks refer to 1887.

    I also believe that the Social Security Death Index birth date came from a misreading of this date. He probably got a certified copy of the birth record when he applied for SS benefits, and the clerk filled it in 1888 because his entry has an 1888 right above the ditto mark.

    In any case I believe the birth record entry is incorrect either way it is read. The draft registration entry of 29 Aug 1888 is probably correct. That date would fit with 5 of the 6 census entries. The only one it does not fit with is 1910 where it says Aug 1887.
