May I ask where you got his age at Burial from?
Death Cert? or Parish Record?

FreeREG has him Buried 12 Nov 1845 age 87.

Hi Trish

Would you believe I have William's burial image from the PR's and I didn't even pick up on the different ages  ::)

I got that age from Headstone pic', Eleanor's details are correct.....weird

will have another look at the PR's for a birth

Thank god one of us is paying attention   ;D

I tried to look at the Headstone pic on a Tree but it wouldnt load for me.

Something is awry as William is age 60 on 1841 Census.

I will consider anything at the moment Trish  :-\

that one does look promising as William named his eldest daughter Joyce, is Morton by Bourne nearby to Woolsthorpe?

Having looked at the map of Lincolnshire, Morton is about three miles north of Bourne and Woolsthorpe is about 10 miles to the west of Morton.

If you look at the Lincstothepast website, and enter Morton par marriages in the top linee.
Then scroll down until you find Morton by Bourne  1767-1812 Marriages on the bottom of page 2.
Open the programme and go to page 13 entry 51 , you will find the original entry of the marriage
