Agreed Arthur



Despite the published trees that confuse baptism with birth and death with
burial, all we now know is that he was buried in Diptford and that his death
was registered in Newton Abbot district.



And the error in his date of birth is wrong because someone wrongly assumed
that the year of birth can be calculated by taking his age from the year of
his death. That may or not be the correct answer, half the time it is the
wrong answer

Jack Steer
