What it says, against the tree

Each fact this record gives, set beside what the FamilySearch tree says: it agrees, it is new (the tree lacks it), it conflicts, or it is context.

Person Fact Document says Tree says Assessment
Ada E. Marrit Darrow Birth 27 Oct 1876 England 1873 Essex, England, United Kingdom conflicts: the stone reads 1876 ("His wife 1876 Ada E. 1952"), and the memorial adds 27 October without a source; her baptism of 5 February 1871 and the 1871 and 1881 censuses put her birth about 1870 (FS-004), so the stone's year is too late, as the contributor suspected ("possibly 1873 not 1876")
Ada E. Marrit Darrow Death 19 Jan 1953 New London, New London County, Connecticut, USA 1953 Connecticut, United States agrees on the year with the tree and adds the day and place (19 January 1953, New London); the stone reads 1952, which the contributor says is wrong
