which states that an Elizabeth Shiffler (my GGM's maiden name), living at

Germanton, married a David Royds who lived at 17 Bringhurst St.  At  this
same
time my  GGF was living on the 200 block of Bringhurst St.   The brith date
given for the bride on the marriage license application was 10  March 1888. 
The only birthdate I have been able to locate for my GGM is 10  March 1890.
