Issues to be checked

Generated by WikiTree AGC. This section should be removed when all issues have been looked at.

• A burial fact had no date. Changed its date to be after the death date.
• A fact of type 'Died' had no date but shared a ref with a 'Buried' fact with the date '1861'. So the fact with no date had its date set to that.
