There will always be some inconsistency in the records on any individual. Ages from all records may not match exactly. But the years of birth they suggest should be relatively close. The spelling of names will not always match, but sound similar.

Keep in mind that records should paint a relatively consistent portrait of your ancestor. There may be a little fuzz around the edges.
