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

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.

yea he is kind of all over the shop with his DOB lol

nothing in the PR's but there are some faded entries, so could be one of them

Thanks for that

Going with born c 1777 have you considered this one?

Wm PARKER Baptised  3 March 1777, St John the Baptist, Morton by Bourne
Parents JOHN/JOYCE
Sibling;
JNO Parker Baptised 14 June 1778, St Mary, Pinchbeck to JNO/JOYCE
(FreeREG)

F/S has a Marriage 8 July 1776 Morton (Near Bourne) John PARKER/Joice MIDDLETON

FreeREG has her as JANE Middleton
So transcription errors do occur

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?
