Isaac Butler age at death?

[lizzieliza]

Hi all.

I am looking to determine which of the following are more likely to be my 4 x G Grandfather. I have looked on history sites that I subscribe to & although they give year/place etc they don't give age at death. Would anyone have access to records that would show the age? Your help would be much appreciated.

Isaac Butler died 11th Feb 1772 in Hawkhurst

Isaac Butler died 25th Jan 1778 in Kennington, Ashford

Many thanks for your time.

Neither parish register gives an age at death for those burials.  Where was he living prior to his death and where was his wife buried

Hi Rosie.

I only have details of one marriage. The Isaac who died 1778 in Kennington was married to Mary (records show she is spouse of Isaac) and she died 30 Dec 1777 also in Kennington.

Oops sorry, my Isaac had also lived in Westwell, & Maidstone.

There was an Isaac, baptised 10th Apr 1726, Headcorn, son of Isaac & Mary. Marriage, Headcorn 5th Dec 1743 to Eliz French. Burial Headcorn 30th Oct 1743, possibly his father. Christening, Philip Butler, son of Isaac & Mary, Chatham, 11th May 1757.

Hi.
Isaac, born 1726, Headcorn is one of the two possibilities (and the most likely one). I also have his parents as Isaac & Mary.

This is where I get confused (& it doesn't take much I had possible Isaac junior married to Mary Freebody in Maidstone 26/1/1754. (unconfirmed)
Their 1st child born Maidstone
2nd Philip Butler 11/5/1757, Chatham (my 3 x G Grandfather)
3rd Thomas Freebody Butler 29/11/1761 in Westwell, Ashford.

The Philip link is most definitely mine.

Any suggestions how I can confirm which of the marriages is the correct one?

So frustrating! I can open the link but not the details of the will. Any suggestions? Copy & paste?

I tried the link again but couldn't get it to work .  OK now though.  You'l  have to search by name.  You can't see a copy of the will just a reference.
