14	John's year of birth on the Colamosca chart is hard to make out. It looks like 1866 but that can't be right as his daughter Mary was born in 1853. What I am fairly certain is John's death certificate shows him dying in 1905 aged 62 but I think that age is an error - again, it would be too young to have fathered children from 1853 onwards. The 1901 census shows him living with his daughter Margaret (Maggie) and her husband Daniel Boyle who registered his death; in that census, it gives his age as 70 so I have taken his correct year of birth as 1830/31 - which also matches what I think is the year of birth his wife Susanna.
