For “Buried” 30 APR 1810 of John Metcalf
John METCALFE, buried 30 Apr 1810, age 92, abode Spofforth; "a Blind Man; died 27 Apr 1810; Cause of death: Old Age"
Gives the burial date exactly, which the tree previously recorded only as "AFT 26 APR 1810". IMPORTANT CONFLICT for the moderator: this register states he died 27 April 1810, whereas his gravestone (already cited on this record) reads "He died on the 26th of April 1810", as do the DNB, ODNB and Wikipedia. I have NOT changed the death date - a burial register and a memorial are both near-primary and disagree, and that is a judgement for you. Recording the discrepancy here rather than silently picking a side.
