    I also have another one I am unsure of what to do on.

    I think they meant to put the death month as January, instead they put it for November and now their funeral is before their "death". It is clear that other dates are in accordance with Jan/Feb/etc....would I correct this?

    No, you should not change the data, unless it is geographical, and then only per the project's field helps/instructions. Read the Project Instructions and Field Helps for more detailed information.

    Where are these records from? The first example looks like a current African one (which spans 1865-2022, need to watch for 2 digit dates spanning centuries), but It's always helpful to provide the project name/batch number with your questions so we can see the whole record. Projects may look alike, but may have different requirements for entering the data.
