This date puts her at 22 at the birth of her child which is also more likely.

A general rule for estimating birthdate crime date of marriage is no more than 20 for females of this time period. However, it would be better to have an actually date. Let's keep researching.

If there is no source for the date of death then I am going to remove that. Again, let's keep researching.

A marriage date may be the only sure date we have. In that case we will estimate the date of birth for merging purposes and leave the date of death blank.

Actually it is more likely that the death date is incorrect. It was pre-existing on this profile without any citation. Gayle Mandell seems to have evidence, if she states a date (lots of times she states no date, or ? for BD and DD).

Edit: Source may have been Family Data Collection - Individual Records (user-contributed, and usually without evidence)

Thanks!  :-)

This birth and date would indicate an age at death of about 106. 20 is a more realistic age for marriage than 33 for this time period. Therefore, I am changing the estimated date of birth. She most likely was even younger at marriage and/or this is an incorrect date of death.
