Could it be date of alteration?

 Civil registration in England & Wales did not start until 1837 so there will not be a birth certificate. You would need to look for a baptism.

The problem is there are a large number of Simon Carpenters in Bampton. I have 11 in my direct line and I know there are others. It is difficult because they overlap. Simon and Rachiel had 4 children - Simeon, Hester, William and Rachel. I have not positively confirmed when this Simon died.

The Simon whose will you mention was was born in 1653 and was the father of Simon above born 1684.

Hi Ray
Simon Carpenter and Rachiell Smyth are my 7x great grandparents who married 29 March 1703 in Cogges. Simon was baptised on 14 March 1684 in Bampton  but I have never found Rachiell's baptism. She was buried in Bampton on 19th Sep 1720.

Simon and Rachiell certainly had a son William baptised in Bampton on 15 Jan 1711 but I have no other details for him. The problem is there are a great many Carpenters in  Bampton.
If you have a subscription for Ancestry they have the Bampton parish registers and it would be worth trying to track William through them

Hope this helps

The 2001 census would show us in Hampshire and the 2011 in Scotland. Missing would be the 7 years between that we spent in Canada.

The information on a death certificate is only as good as the knowledge of the person registering the death.
My father was a year out when he gave my grandfather's dob when registering his death in 1970. My father himself died in hospital in 1988 and the death was registered by a member of staff who was 2 years out on his dob (Correct day and month). So not that uncommon.

I spent ages looking for the birth of Ann Selina. Finally found her recorded as Enselina.
