I am sure practice varies over time and place, but who might be mostly responsible for giving the age of the deceased for a parish burial, which is then recorded by the officiating clergyman?
I am just looking at someone who on death was aged 56 [awaiting the PDF to find out who the informant was] but on their burial was aged 68! In this case, the burial age was the accurate one - it just prompted the question in my mind.
