1866 -- I searched at Ancestry for John Smith died in Middlesex 1865-1867, knowing it was somewhere in there, and 1866 is when age is first given.

Ancestry works better for this, searching by year of birth -- I've never figured out how to use the age at death function at FreeBMD ... since if you don't know when they died, you don't know how old they were when they died!

Please does anyone know from what year the age of death started to appear in the death registrations, (bmds). I am finding a lot of my relatives on the cemetery records on the Manchester Gov website, but a lot of them unfortunately are buried in paupers graves, so cant link them with any other family members. Need to search the bmds to perhaps narrow it down with age if I can.

Thanks a lot
