For “Born” 25 SEP 1824 of Helen Miller
I also have a photograph of Ellen Miller Scobie (b. 27 September 1824) with her granddaughter Rebecca Ferguson.
Conflict: gives 27 September 1824; the tree holds 25 SEP 1824 from an uncited GEDCOM import. Neither is a registration record, so the recorded date is retained pending a Scottish baptism or birth record.
