Date of birth edit

User:Historynut101 has replaced the date of birth 1767, referenced to Spalding, with 1769, referenced to Jenkins, a genealogy website. It is not a good idea to simply delete a reference if there is some ambiguity as is the case here. Sources giving 1767 include: Spalding; 1910 Britannica [1]; Burke's Peerage [2]. Leslie Stephens DNB gives 1766. Boase's Modern English Biography [3] gives 1769. I venture to suggest that (1) 1767 is the consensus in sources (2) replacing a sourced date without discussion is an unwise way to proceed. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
