All entries within the GPR for the family name HESTER

First of all, many thanks for the terrific service in making these photographs and details available. I was delighted to find the details of a relative and his wife, but realised that the date of birth calculated in the details you list is incorrect. This concerns record no. 54312 - image name 226 for Elizabeth and David Hester. David Hester's dates are correct (1825 - 1886), as is Elizabeth death/burial date (12 March 1901). However, Elizabeth Hester (nee Parsons) was born in 1842 (not in 1812). If you look VERY carefully at the gravestone, you can just make out her age at death (59) and 1901 - 59 = 1842. Final proof: she had a daughter (Sarah) born in 1878, so Elizabeth was very unlikely to have had a child at the age of 66!

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)!!
