How to read this page

Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.

Unconfirmed evidence: show why

Why: The tree gives 1766 for Benjamin York's death, which would mean living to about 112, and no record in the tree supports it. The birth year fits the family (the first child listed was born in 1683), so the death year is the likely error. The tree has a second Benjamin York born in 1654 who died at Dover in 1715; the two are probably the same man.
