I checked the Free BMD Deaths and the 1st number of the age is incomplete in the entry. It certainly could be 50, 60 or 80 BUT the #8 further up the page does seem a bit more rounded. Hard to tell. You check and see what you think.Perhaps the death is forWilliam's son with the same name?? The IGI has this entry: WILLIAM HYDE KNAPP Birth: 17 AUG 1816 Christening: 02 OCT 1816 Saint Leonards, Shoreditch, London, England Father: GEORGE KNAPP Family Mother: LOUISA MORTON Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date.
