The transcription gives the full name Norman Seymour Bentley with dates 1831/03/31 to 1901/09/23, which explicitly states the claimed birth date. The age of 70 is consistent with those dates. Because it is a transcription with no image, and cemetery dates may be derived rather than original, it is capped at confidence 3.
Matches: Name Norman Seymour Bentley matches Norman S Bentley; Birth date 1831/03/31 matches the claimed 31 March 1831; Death 1901/09/23 matches the 1901 end of the claimed lifespan; Stated age 70y is consistent with a March 1831 birth and a September 1901 death
Limits: Transcription of a cemetery listing with no image, so the original stone was not seen; Compiled, undated source; the origin of the birth date (stone or other records) is unknown; Spouse name given is not part of this claim, and the place of birth is not stated
