I am looking at the date and place of death. Would someone please tell me which of these two records is likely to be correct. |

n In the too hard basket. That's where I've put it as well. |

If you have a son born 1810 then the death of father cannot be 1808 so it must be the other one. They could be cousins. |

Everything matches for both entries. Except for the date and place of death. |

I apologize, I originally read the second entry's christening date for the birth date. Must be going cross-eyed. |

Hi Ozi, I think that is going to be the best possible way to go. At least this one has a contact name. I agree with your first estimate that if the child was born after 1810 the later death date would be the most likely one. Thanks for your input. |
