Research Notes

His age at his death was given as 83. This would make his date of birth 1919. Interestingly, Edward gave his age at the time of his marriage to Emma as 53, about 20 years younger than he actually was, unless this is a conflation of two people. None of the dates in the marriage registers agree with the birth date of 1825 given in the data.
