Talk:Sir William Langhorne, 1st Baronet

Date of Birth
Which source gives his DoB as 1660? ODNB merely says circa 1664. David Underdown (talk) 09:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The article on JSTOR says that he was 85 when he died in 1715. So I caluculated his birthyear as 1629 or 1630.

 * Well the ODNB seems to be based on more recent work, your approach was slightly bordering on original research anyway, and as you say you couldn't be sure if it was 1629, or 1630. David Underdown (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
