This looks as if it will say something like Joe Brown was born 1876 and Mary Brown. Better if we show "Unknown" parent name with all the right connecting words? Joe Brown was born 1876 to (Unknown) and Mary Brown. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

at the age of
Current coding " at the age of years " looks as if it takes no account of months and would therefore be wrong by one year every time death occurred before the birthday of the death year. Insoluble where month not known in each case; therefore probably better not stated at all unless both days are known. Or (where both years are known and are different) stated as " or ( minus one) years "; code the "minus one" if possible. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
