April 2023 BioBuilders - People who died before their 18th birthday

1.6k views

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is People who died before their 18th birthday.

Be sure to add {{Died Young}} after ==Biography == in the narrative.

You are not limited to profiles on your Watchlist.

Thank you for your support.

Here's our checklist:

Data Section:

birth date/place
names of parents
marriage date/place and spouse name
names of children, if any
death date/place

Biography Section:

Written (full) sentences stating the facts above, adding inline sources to each fact.
Is the profile '''Genealogically Defined?'''
As a general rule biographies should be in your own words. Paraphrase and rewrite, don't copy/paste.
Baptism, burial, military, and other life events with inline sources.
Something to "humanize" the person, such as career or avocation with sources.
List of children with at least one pertinent fact.
Some list siblings. (I think this takes up real estate.)
Explanatory remarks, if needed (e.g. disputed persons information, Research Notes, whatever needs extra explaining).
Photos or pictures, background. Not a must, but nice (you need to own the copyright unless they are in the public domain).
Categories.
Connection to the Global Tree.
All duplicates merged or initiated.
Links to persons and events, perhaps from Wikipedia.
Historical context as related to the person's life.
Sources, Sources, Sources.

You can see some ideas on where to find some of this information on the Biography Builders space page.

Use "comments" below to ask questions.

NOTE: Biography Builders will not show on the tracker. Please add a list to your answer.

Can do this one. I have many Died Young profiles bookmarked and no idea what the plan was but now can do something with them.

Answer 9 · 2023-04-01T19:30:35+0000

Hi Bob,

Glad to see this challenge appear, appreciate the work you do.

I am in, think I have done those on my watch list, but will review them and then look at the English mortality categories. Starting with Hampshire, Surrey, and Northumberland.

Mary Langridge (bef. 1751 - bef. 1752) aged 19 months - Hampshire and her sister
Mary Langridge (1766 - 1772) aged 6 yrs - Hampshire
William Langridge (abt. 1770 - abt. 1771)
Daisy Langridge (1908 - 1925)
Samuel Bones (1760 - 1760) and his brother
Thomas Bones (1755 - 1757)
Stephen Bones (1790- 1791)

Didn't get as many done as I would have liked, as life got in the way.

Answer 10 · 2023-04-01T21:44:46+0000
