VALENTINE Mary
Father William PRINE [sic] Mother UNKNOWN

I strongly suspect this is her death. The UK records show a christening in Feb 1823 so possibly her birth was in late 1822. Another source (can't remember where) gave the exact date of her death as Sep 7 1906 which fits with her age at death being shown as 83Y.
