Thank you Steve

I wouldn't put too much faith in the age on a death certificate. The information is not taken from any records but is the result of a question asked of the person registering the death, who probably could not write and had no supporting information to substantiate the date of birth. I have 971 certificates, a number of them are death certificates and of these there are numerous errors including one showing wrong parents and a number with the wrong age.

The amount of information on this subject has been incredible, so forgive me if I haven't followed it correctly, but in my Family Tree where I have been trying to keep up with responses, I have the Sophia Trigg who married William Barnard as the Sophia who was baptised 3 Jul 1803 The Lea with parents Thomas Trigg & Margaret Hill.
