There are a lot of ancestry trees giving her date of death as 28 Sep 1783 but I can't see where they have got this from. Also they all say she was born in 1755 which seems unlikely. So not much help there.

Hmmm.....28 Sept 1783 is the baptism date of Joanna's youngest child, William, according to FreeREG. There's nothing on FreeREG that I can see to suggest she was buried the same day.

I looked at the first half dozen trees that came up on Ancestry with that date for her death and none of the ones I looked at had William's baptism, though they had the year for his birth, so that's a bit strange too.

I would like to see the PR now!

Maybe someone put "after 28 Sep 1783" as her death date on their tree, i.e. that was the last date they knew she was alive, and then everyone else copied it as "28 Sep 1783".

That's a good suggestion!

I noticed one tree had Joanna being born in Surrey to a father surname Collier! lol
