Research Notes
The phrase "in the 20th year of her age" could mean that she was past her 19th birthday and into her 20th year so would have turned 20 in 1854 making her year of birth in 1834 or it could mean she turned 20 in 1853 and therefore born in 1833. It would depend on whether the phrase was used properly or not.
