Birth and Death

This page sets out an analysis of profiles in Devon, England using a snapshot of the Wikitree database taken on 2 April 2023.

We can only analyse profiles by county and country when location fields have been accurately input to Wikitree standards. Some people are analysed as being born or having died in England or in the United Kingdom when, with a minor change, we could be more precise. Many profiles can be tidied, by properly formatting the location field (perhaps just by adding comma in the right place, or correcting a spelling mistake), by adding more detailed information to the location fields from information in the biography, or with research. We are working on an ongoing basis to improve these profiles and to add new locations to the Locations Table so that more profiles are identified and analysed.

If you would like help with the analysis of Devon profiles, please click on one of the links in the Notes Section below and improve the data in the location field.

There are three tables, illustrating total profiles broken down by

• Century of birth and gender
• Death location (people born in Devon)
• Birth location (people who died in Devon)

Locations with fewer than 0.1% of the total are omitted from the tables.

Notes

1. A significant proportion of people lack death locations. Two percentages are shown against death locations;
   1. The total percentage of the total profiles of people born in the county
   2. The total of profiles for which a death location has been indicated and identified.
2. Died in England, county not known includes 2 types of profile
   1. Profiles where the death location field is simply ‘England’ or ‘England, United Kingdom’
   2. Profiles where England’ is in the death location field plus something else which isn’t recognised.
3. Died in United Kingdom, country not known includes
   1. Profiles where the death field is simply ‘United Kingdom’.
   2. Profiles where ‘United Kingdom’’ is in the death location field plus something else which isn’t recognised.
4. Died in Unknown Country means that the country in the location field isn’t recognised.
