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)
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)
