Talk:Maurice Throckmorton

Source on DOB

• What's the source for 1855 as the year of birth? This link states he was born in 1835. --Wheresdib 09:04, 25 April 2008 (PDT)

• The Mormons. (link). I figured if he married a daughter of Alburto, he probably wasn't her father's age. I could be wrong. Probably a good idea to check the monument. [1] --Dystopos 09:08, 25 April 2008 (PDT)

• The monument says he was born on October 17, 1855 and died December 9, 1888, but the Findagrave entry gives his dates as October 22, 1855 to December 8, 1888. I've made half the corrections and will seek further confirmation. --Dystopos (talk) 14:18, 28 October 2023 (CDT)

• I've found no reason to doubt the marker for his date of birth, and I confirmed by the newspaper account that he was being given last rites on the morning of December 9. --Dystopos (talk) 16:04, 28 October 2023 (CDT)

Marriage date

The article is in conflict with itself over whether Maurice & Florence married in 1882 or 1884. I added the 1882 date without noticing the 1884 one. I got it from "The Dead" (1888) article, which said Throckmorton "came to Birmingham in 1880 . . . . He married two years later his present wife . . . ." I didn't see the source for the 1884 date in any of the references or external links. I did find the 1884 date in two WorldConnect entries for him, which might have been the source(s). --Lkseitz 10:20, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

• Dubose gives the date as November 16, 1882. --Dystopos (talk) 16:04, 28 October 2023 (CDT)
