Dear Bob I think it unlikely that Elizabeth Bourne was born in 1740. This would have meant she had her last child at the age of 62 - she would have married at the age of 42 when her husband was 25 - she was aged 87 when she died but her age was given as 62! She had a brother christened in 1739, another in 1740 and a sister in 1741. The only LDS IGI references I take seriously are those where the file/batch numbers begin with a C - christenings or M - marriages. These are usually for just one parish and invariably incomplete - but the entries are usually correct though they (whoever they are or where) get confused with dates before 1753 Jan 1 - Mar 24. Otherwise they may contain an element of wishful thinking.
