Thank you for the residence information after one is married.

When searching passenger lists, the birth information is most often recorded as for example: abt 1878. Did they not have to have proof of who they were and their age?
Another example...First name: Annie, wouldn't that most likely be Ann or Anna?
Thank you, Sue
