The ages to be most suspicious are those that end in a 0. This usually means that nobody quite knew. But even the most accurate looking of ages can be wrong. |

Thanks Julie & Willow. As I don't know where he was baptised it make it more difficult to pipoint. I suppose his widow didn't know in exactly which year her poor husband was born. G |

I have a few that have incorrect ages on, but its definately them. They could have got the age wrong. |

hiya, the person giving the info on death might have only guessed at his age, alot of people didnt know exactly when they were born, and alot of P/R's dont even have actual DOB, just date of bapt HTH Julie |

Hello All, I have an ancest who died in 1836 aged 50 according to the parish records. This would mean he was born in 1786. He maaried in a different parish in 1814 but I cannot find his baptism in 1786 or just after. However, I have found a baptism in 1784 which would fit. Does this means that his age when died is likely to be incorrect? Advice please, Gillian |
