A query about orphaned records

Question

Hi, I recently took on an orphaned record. I have found the person I was working on, was born and died within the same quarter in 1843. I have listed both records on his biography etc. I note that his parents and their families seem to have been quite well researched and I believe if I am looking correctly (am still finding my way around) that their records were also orphaned and have someone working on them. In this case, what do I do. Do I just leave the record I have worked on as is, as obviously I can go no further with this particular person. If so, do I need to let anyone know or is it just obvious. I started to look back as his parents etc records when I realised someone was recently working on those files and they were quite informative. Thanks in advance

I would remove the Haggerstone Lane from the Birth Location as this appears to be a road or street. Actual physical locations like this are not permitted as they can throw the Search Engine off.  Possibly just use Haggerstone which was the present Haggerston's name when Charles was born.

Anyone can work on open profiles (using proper sources) although it is nice to advise PMs when making major alterations.

In the case of this profile the only thing left to do is to fill in the death date and location in the data field. After that if you wish to orphan it again that is fine.
