I can add a  child to the profile of Ann Brooks. This is who I can add:

Ann Greasley  

birth:18 MAY 1719

Christening:

18 MAY 1719 St. Margaret,Leicester,Leicester,England

Death: 7 Sep 1724

These are the sources I am using:

  • Roots Tech Family Tree

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Also please see pre-1700 reliable sources, thanks https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Pre-1700_Resource_Page
Do you have a link to this family tree? What sources does it cite?

"England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQBM-KTP : 20 March 2020), Ann Greasly, 1719.

Yes thank you. This collaborates with my finding as well.
Gillian shared a link below that collaborates my finding. Here is my original link:

I found this person on FamilySearch:

Ann Greasley

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/MPRP-48L
The citation Gillian provides is best - it claims it comes from the parish register.  The tree/person link says "0 sources".

You can copy that citation on the left-hand side of the page.

It would be best to add such citations to the parents, as well.
If there were an image of the register, you could also link to that.
Okay, good to know and will learn from this. Thank you so much..
When searching on FS, go to Search, then under it to Records. That's where the more reliable information can be found, and where you can find a link to use in sourcing your profiles.
