-“…needless to say, it all depends on when and where the translation was done. If it was in the states and they are translating from a document from English to Chinese, then I would lean towards the English version of the birthday being in February 18th of 1874. Instead of writing 二 they wrote 十二.
If it was a translation of a Chinese document to English, then the birthdate could be the Chinese version on the stone of December 18 of 1874. Translating/misreading the twelve (十二) as two (二).
Please note that February would be 二月 and December would be 十二月, just an extra character "十" Easily mistaken either way”.
