Analysis

Age at death

Age at death is shown only where an accepted source establishes birth information under the project’s birth-data rule. Birth dates, original birth values and birth-information sources are internal and are not published; cases without accepted birth information remain Unknown. See Methodology for the adjudication rule.

Live database, data cutoff 26 August 2026. Supported ranges are reported as ranges, and no average or other summary statistic is calculated.

Age at death is supported by accepted birth information for 96 of 114 included people (84.2%). Every figure in this section describes only those 96 records. Coverage is uneven across categories and periods, so the supported records are not a representative sample of the full record; the remaining 18 people are shown as Unknown throughout the site. Of the supported records, 92 have an exact age and 4 are only supported as a range.

Figure 1. Individual supported age-at-death values, one lane per record, sorted by lowest supported age. Exact ages appear as points; ages supported only as an interval (for example 62–63) remain drawn as intervals and are never replaced by a midpoint. No average or other summary statistic is calculated.

Figure 2. Descriptive counts of supported age-at-death records in fixed age groups. Counts describe only the 96 supported records. A record enters a group only when its whole supported value falls inside that group; a range that crosses a group boundary is not forced into either group and is never replaced by a midpoint.

Range crosses age-group boundary: 1. These records have a supported interval that spans two groups (for example 40–41), so the evidence does not place them in a single group. They are reported here rather than assigned, because assigning them would require a midpoint or another inference the sources do not support. Outside displayed groups: 0. Supported records below 30 or above 90 are counted here rather than discarded.
