Thanks, Ron and Jan, for the replies. The < > brackets probably mean unchecked or unverified data I suppose; that's what I used in my own database. Yet one of the persons I looked at had an exact date of death, day, month & year which was the same day as the birth data. That cannot be just an estimate, like most males marry at age 25 years so 'guess' the year. Then again, others I've looked at have the marriage year as one year prior to the 1st child's birth, and a man's birth year as 25 years before his marriage year etc. Locations may be being presumed from where the person married.
There is possibly more to know about this and maybe someone can add to our pool of knowledge.
