Deaths

I believe the age at death of William Herbert Scanlon should be 7 months, 7 days instead of 7 years, 7 months. As a 7-year old, he would have been born 5 years before James' and Louisa's marriage, and he would have shown up on the Umbria manifest (which he didn't). If the Ashton, R.I. place of birth is correct, he must have been born after June 1889, his parents' arrival.Unfortunately, there is no record of his birth in Cumberland (Ashton) or Smithfield (Georgiaville) or Central Falls for either date.
