I wonder which dates/ages are the red herrings . . .

If William were sixty in 1841, give or take, he should have been born around 1781. . . If it were he who died in 1845 at age 70, it would place his birth around 1775 . . . and the baptismal record which looks promising puts his birth almost ten years earlier than my original estimate . . .

The Stephen part is intriguing, though.

These are wonderful clues, but I don't know how to confirm which ones are correct.

On ancestry.com, someone has managed to move one of my Lewis ancestors, who never left the Aberdare area, in New Jersey when he was somewhat over one hundred years old, and then married him off to someone else . . . and I want to avoid doing something like that.
