Feedback :-- family being researched: HESTER

Incorrect date of birth

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!
