Help Request :-- family being researched: HESTER
Date correction
Could I ask you to make a correction to the estimated dates (given in red) that accompany the image of the gravestone of one of my ancestors?
This concerns Elizabeth Hester: grave number 54312, image no. 226. Her estimated date of birth (in red) is given as 1812, but should in fact be 1842. I'm sure the reason for this is interpreting her age at death on the gravestone as 89, whereas it actually reads 59.
I am quite sure about this, especially as a date of birth of 1812 would have meant that her youngest child would have been born when she was 66 years old (rather than 36)!!
