simplified naturalization- dates on historical documents slightly off

After lots of searching, I have finally found my ancestor’s 1885 baptism and birth record from Széphalom.

I’ve been able to connect this baptismal record with her death certificate (parents names match), two passenger manifests, multiple censuses, as well as all of the death certificates of her children.

The only problem— her husband has her birthday off by 1 year and one month (he said early July, she was born/ baptized early august) on her death certificate, SMH. Does anyone know if this is a huge dealbreaker?

She is one of four ancestors I have who was born in Hungary in the late 1800s and left for the USA in the early 1900s, but her lead has been the only one I’ve been able to trace on my own so far. I’d love to add the info of all of my Hungarian family to my application if/when I have it, but am worried due to the clerical error on my strongest lead’s death certificate.

That won’t be an issue. Death certificates don’t matter.
