Narrative

Note: Arthur Ernest Rudkin's birthdate

Arthur's birthdate is in some question, as the three records I have found so far - all of which would have recorded a birthdate reported by Arthur himself - all give a different date (though the same year).

-> On his Social Security Death Index record, his birthdate is 20 Sep 1893.
-> On his WWI draft registration, his birthdate is 31 Sep 1893 (a date that doesn't technically exist)
-> On his WWII draft registration, his birthdate is 30 Sep 1893.

All of these records would have been created before Arthur was fifty years old, and some of them when he was a young enough man that remembering his birthday would not presumably have been a challenge. Still, it seems he must simply not have been able to recall his actual birthdate, as the small amount of variance isn't enough to have been anything that would have served any intentional purpose.

The other possibility is that the WWI draft card is simply erroneous, and that the SSA record was mis-read (with a hand-written "30" becoming a "20" in the system). This assumption would then make his birthdate most likely 30 Sep 1893.

ADDENDUM: A typewritten transcription from a Laxton family Bible (provided by Donald Laxton) gives Arthur's birthdate as 30 Sep 1894, which provides at least some possible confirmation of the date, but adds some confusion to the year.
