Date of death[edit]

A source is an obituary: Obituary: John Rolle Gentleman's Magazine August 1841 -- but the year of birth in the body of the article in 1842. Which is right?--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:07, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Age at Queen Victoria's coronation.[edit]

In the article his year of birth is given as 1750 and so he should have been 88 at the Queen's coronation, not 82 as formerly given in the text. I corrected that. --Maxl (talk) 11:55, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
