Advice before adding child of this pre-1700 King profile?

Question

I can add a child to the profile of Henry King 3rd Bt.. This is who I can add:

• Robert King, Baron of Kingsborough 

These are the sources I am using:

• https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/display-pdf.jsp?pdfName=d-30-1-1-335

• Web: Ireland, Burial Index, 1600-1927

  Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812

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

Hi Linda,

Your best bet is to message the Profile Manager and collaborate with them on the profile. If they don't get back to you, as this is an open profile, you are welcome to contribute to it yourself. You can also always follow the Unresponsive Profile Manager process.

I notice you're wanting to use an Irish burial record and yet the profile currently says they died in the Netherlands. You'd probably need to show documentary evidence that they died in the Netherlands and were transported back to Ireland for burial, or that they actually died and were buried in Ireland.

In terms of how to cite burial record sources, there is no one way to do this, but I do something like this (made up example):

Burials (PR) England. York, Yorkshire. 28 March 1756. ANDREWS, Josiah. GS Film no: 62568. [URL familysearch] : accessed 12 April 2019.

which broken down is:

[Type of record] [Country] [Place, County]. [Date]. [Person's name] [GS Film no or equivalent reference] [link to source] [date accessed].

You might also be interested in joining a project to work with others on similar profiles. Here are some options:

• Irish_Roots Project
• Dutch Roots Project
• England Project

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other other questions. We're here to help in any way we can.

Unfortunately Linda neither of the sources you want to use, seem to be records for Robert King, Baron of Kingsborough, they are about other men (or a child) named Robert King.

If you want to create his profile, then better sources are The Complete Baronetage, Vol 4, p. 217 

or The Complete Peerage, Vol. 7, pp. 293-294 under Kingsborough.  Use this link to access this book from FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/84574-redirection
