Are you talking about Joseph Mack (no Liddle) death registered Moulamein (parents listed as Joseph and Mary A).

Aged 64 in 1927. He was married - do you have his marriage certificate? That would give you a better idea of his age/parentage as the information would be direct from him.

Any of the children's birth certificates will also show his age and place of birth, death certificates are too unreliable.

Yes this is correct person I am 100% the Liddle was dropped and he became Joseph Mack - His father was Joseph Mack Liddle
No I didn't have the marriage as it was completely unavailable but have not checked and it is available so I think I should get this.

Thanks so much for your assistance.
