Frank's death certificate shows that he was born August 5, 1874. The year 1874 seems unlikely based on the 1880 and 1900 census. So, our records show 1871 as per the census reports.

No records show that Mary Canney (Kunet, Kenet, Canet, Canny, Kenney) was actually Mary Pridgeon. In the 1880 census Mary is shown as sister in law to Sophia Canny "ey" which indicates she is Mary Pridgeon.
