I have just checked the image and it is mis-transcribed the age is i think 56 which would make his DOB c1834 SORRY THAT WAS YOUR PROBLEM??? SO HE IS NOT MIS-TRANSCRIBED. If you are sure it should be 1840 then it could be as we said above. Roy

It would all depend on the informant? who every reported the death may not have known his correct age, DOB Roy

Why can I not find the proper date of my G/Grandfathers death in Ancestory Ranked search results - free BMD Death Index 1837-1983. I keep getting James Quayle c1834 when his date is 1840, a big difference,but the date Qtr is correct Oct --Dec district and everything else. I do have a certificate, which showed he died in a mining accident, in Whitehaven, with the date 1st October 1890, so why do!snt it show properly in the index. I have tried other indexs with no better luck, any explanations welcome.
