Note Record: "(Research):Joseph's death certificate has the surname Blackner. However, the date..." - Overview

Text (Research):Joseph's death certificate has the surname Blackner. However, the date is 4 days before the funeral of Joseph and his age at 80 (1783-84) years ties in with his christening if not yet his birth. Quite what he was doing in a work house needs further investigation, especially as his wife Elizabeth was still alive.
Joseph Blacknell's recorded age in 1841 census was 60. However, with the 5 years rounding down rule this could mean 1775-1781. Other entries on that page however, show ages like 24,58, 31 - so it might be the recorder didn't follow the 1841 census rules. So aged exactly 60 would mean he was born 1780-1781. If he was indeed born 1780 then he would have been 84 at death, not 80, if this certificate is for the same Joseph.
