I am quite amazed with the responses so far.
I wish I could establish definitive dates/parishes of birth for both of the Elizabeths.
There is a slight inconsistency between what Amphlett recorded from the gravestone (which I
could not find incidentally) for the Elizabeth Boughton who died in 1843 from which he recorded her age as 65
whereas the public registration says she was 62.
Similarly Joseph "loines" was actually older than the 40 shown by the enumerator on the 1841
census as he was baptised in 1797! I think enumerators rounded up and down as they thought appropriate.
k
they were rounded down to the nearest 5 years but some did recorded there actual age not many though
