    Dates prior to emigration to Canada are assumed to be given according to the Julian ("old world") calendar, which was 12 days behind the Gregorian (modern) calendar in the 1800's.

    Since Maria's last child was born Nov 1853 and Franz remarried Nov 1854, it would appear that Maria died Dec 1853, not Dec 1855.
