There's allot of variables regarding the location of Birth and how well information is documented.

My Great Grandfather was of Jewish faith and there were 2 Years of Birth (1901 & 1902) used throughout his life.

He was born just before the Birth Certificate Document was implemented in Brooklyn NYC.

This situation is not uncommon for dated information/events.
