The date of marriage on the registration appears to say the 19th. The date of registration, however, is February 12th. Either the latter is a clerical error, or the marriage date as shown is a handwriting problem and was really the 11th. A family bible, not available to your researcher, would tell the tale. That, or a newspaper account.

George Grein born March 5th, 1876. Parents Adam Grein, farmer, and Margaret Feick. Physician nobody. Informant Adam Grein, farmer, Normanby.

At first glance, this birth registration is confusing. Adam and Margaret had a son born in 1881 who was named George and referred to as George. The 1876 son appears as Peter in census information. Clarification dawns when we look at his death registration and find that his name was Peter George Grein.
