OCR hyphenation; reads "born in Nottingham, England, and was an orchardist and florist of much ability". Consistent with the recorded birthplace Normanton on Soar, Nottinghamshire — a newspaper would render the county as "Nottingham". Age 82 at death on 7 Aug 1898 brackets the birth to Aug 1815 - Aug 1816, containing the recorded 14 May 1816.
