Parish record online: where did this age come from?

[Davedrave]

I’m 99 per cent sure that I’ve found a burial I was looking for in a parish register. It is available online, though obviously I can’t say here where I saw it. 3rd May 1812, Tamworth, Staffs., William Lea. He is a very good match to the “late William Lea of Tamworth” of his uncle Richard Lea’s 1820 (Shenton, Leics.) will.
The image of the original is unfortunately missing the right hand edge of the page (folded under, it seems), so I can see no age given, though there is a transcript which says he was 35. If this is correct, he’d be the William son of Christopher (Richard’s brother), who was baptised in Packwood, Warks. in 1777. I’m surprised how much these people moved about.

I’d be happier if I could see the age myself or knew where the website transcription came from. The age clearly couldn’t have been transcribed from this image.

of course you can say where you saw it!

When I've come across something like that Dave, I have emailed the appropriate Record Office where the actual register is held, and asked if they would be so good as to have a look and see if there is anything written there. They have always been very obliging.
I guess Tamworth registers are at Staffordshire Record Office in Stafford.
Can't hurt to contact them.

The Burial is on FreeREG 1812 age 35.
That is how the transcriber saw the age but I cant help with the actual image.

Just keep scrolling on through the images ( see the arrow at the right of the page) and you will see a clear image showing the age.

You often find such repeats  with parish records before  standardised forms were introduced.

Unfortunately on the website I’m using it doesn’t seem to appear when doing that, in fact the next right hand page suffers the same issue.

I got a mildly slapped wrist the other day for mentioning a commercial site by name, and the moderator deleted my post, so I thought I’d be banned if I transgressed again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll do that.

Thank you. I’d be surprised if this wasn’t right and everything fits, but there just remains that last 0.1 per cent of doubt.
