The writing on this certificate appears to have been retraced, probably by a later clerk, or to make it legible before microfilming. The year of birth may have been misinterpreted as 1850. Although the age given is 65 yrs 4 mons 22 da, this may have been calculated later based on the reinterpreted birth year.
