A family tree on Ancestry UK gives William's date of birth as 25 June 1717 in Hales, which tallies with his age (71) at death.

I have asked for details as to how this information was obtained.

No response as yet but will send reminder.

However, I am wondering whether this is the correct William Walpole.

The East Bilney parish register shows his burial date as 26 September 1830 and that his age at death was 72, which means he was born circa 1758 and not 1763 as stated in the majority of family trees on Ancestry.

The one record I can find for a William Walpole born at that time was the son of Robert and Susanna Walpole nee Dowe, who was baptised in Attleborough, Norfolk, on 4 September 1758.

The mystery thickens!
