Sources needed

The single ref for this article makes no mention of his dates, parentage, spouse etc. If unsourced in a few weeks that content should be removed. PamD 05:46, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why, seeing as there is no deadline and much of that information is indisputably verifiable. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 07:45, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May be verifiable, but there's no evidence here to show that it's correct - could be a complete fantasy, or a misidentification on a family tree. The burden is on the contributor to provide sources. I'm surprised that the various people who edited this over its six years didn't tag it for lack of sources, but if no-one is interested enough to find and add a reliable source for his birth, death, wife, etc, then that info has no place in the encyclopedia.

Worldcat, for example, has his death year as 1891. PamD 07:59, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And this has him ordaining someone in May 1890. PamD 08:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No time to use this fully now, but I have found a source which supports death as March 1891 ("last Monday" on the 14th - there must be an online calendar somewhere to turn that into a date). Will add it and fix death date. PamD 08:10, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Found a calendar: 9th. PamD 08:17, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
