Birth

Date calculated about 1853

Narrative

Recorded as aged 48 on death burial records. Note that the age reported in Census 1901 is 40, presumably he underexaggerated his age. Also people from this time often did not have a good idea of exactly how old they were, and often thought that they were a couple of years younger than they really were, so he may have been born earlier than 1853.
