For “Born” 18 MAR 1863 of Johann Modistach

Mr. Johann Modistach, who died at Maitland on Friday, 1st August, was born at Moculta on March 13th 1863.

Gives birth as 13 Mar 1863 at Moculta, vs the tree's uncited 18 Mar 1863 at Parrot Hill (a locality within/adjoining Moculta, same district). A 5-day disagreement between an uncited import and a 78-year-later family recollection; date left unchanged, flagged for a human.

For “Died” 1 AUG 1941 of Johann Modistach

Mr. Johann Modistach, who died at Maitland on Friday, 1st August, was born at Moculta on March 13th 1863.

Corrects the previously uncited GEDCOM death date of 8 Jan 1941. The obituary's funeral date ("Saturday afternoon, August 2nd, at the Tabor Cemetery") is internally consistent with a Friday 1 Aug death. A WikiTree compiled profile (Modistach-6) also shows 8 Jan 1941 but almost certainly shares the same uncited origin as the GEDCOM import, not independent evidence.
