Answer 1

I hate to tell you this, but there is no way anyone can answer this.

Answer 2

After a short search, without any 100% evidence all i can tell you is that one, not all birth and death dates were known, therefore roman numerals were used in place, also, it was classed as a more dignified burial to use these numerals. Hope this sheds some light, all the best.

Answer 3

count the number of + robert was born in a year with 10+, and dies in a year with 9+. wife alice was born in the year with 9+ and dies in the year 7+. it wouldnt be hard to work out. i would do it but im watchin jackie chan tuxedo film. im guessing rough estimate 1887 and 1890

Answer 4

Robert probably died in a year that ends in 8
and Alice probably died in a year that ends in 9

other than that it would take time to get it . . .

if you're serious, i could figure it out

Answer 5

There is a website called timeanddate.com that allows you to generate any calendar from any year.
It might save you a bit of time if you make progress.

If it is in England or Wales, try Free BMD to find your people.

It is possible to work out probable variables but not at this time of night
The public or parish records would be the place to find out

Gregorian or Julian calendar?
