The Chislehurst burial register of 1797 Jul 21, lists Eleanor Fairbarns,
widow, aged 68 *
So, Eleanor was 68 when she died in 1797. This gave her a year of birth
of around 1729. From previous research it was known that her father
Anthony was from Durham it was therefore interesting to note the
following baptism that was located:
15 Jul 1729 Eleanor Stringer d/o Edward at Auckland St Andrew, Durham *
