Image of blue plaque - contradiction with article re year of death

[edit]

I noticed that the blue plaque from Wakefield featured in the image that accompanies the article states (twice) that Nevison's year of death was 1685, but the article makes clear it was 1684. I would note that a quick web search would seem to indicate some websites and books including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies go for 1685 and others 1684. Thus is there scholarly division on the date or is one of the dates an error? If the former is the case I think something explaining it could be added to the article if possible. Equally, if it is generally felt the plaque that is wrong, or the 1684 date is the more doubtful, then I suspect something needs to be added to the article to make this clear. I think as it stands there is the potential for confusion as to why the page seems to be giving conflicting information on the year of the subject's execution.
