    The above record has birth and death dates for what appears to be the wife of William A Gaul.  The children named match those in the 1900 census below.

    Interestingly, there was later a Jean Young Gaul.  She was born in 1906, married another William A Gaul and had a son named William Gaul.  Their son was born in 1928.  All three were, along with some other chidren, enumerated in Philadelphia in the 1930 and 1940 census.

    The 1900 census reports her name as Jennie.

    This 1900 census reports Jean (Jennie) as born in August 1857.  But her as reported in the unofficial church record above has the year 1851.  The 1900 census reports they have been married for 29 years, meaning they married about 1871.  If she born in 1857, it would mean she married at about age 14, and if in 1851, it would be about age 20.

    Otherwise, we would usually favor Jennie's birth date repoted in 1900 as the correct date.  Her husband's birth date in the 1900 census matches his death certificate.  Her gravestone also has the birth date as 1851.  Likewise here death certificate reports the date of birth as 13 August 1851..
