Ages over 15 were rounded down to the nearest 5 below so 20 covered an age range 20-24

No sign of a John aged 2, nor of a burial 1839-41

Hi David,

Thank you very much for all of that most helpful information.

I was interested to see whether young John was present, as I had two birth dates for him, one was c.1839 and the other was c.1844. I had wondered whether there might have possibly been two children of that name, but you have cleared it all up with the burial information. It seems that he was probably born at the later date, possibly around the time his mother died (Q Sep 1844).

Thanks again,

Kind regards,

Marc
