This template calculates a person's approximate birth year based on their age at death. This is useful when a reliable source states only their age at death. This can also be used when a person is dead and a reliable source states only their age at the time of publication, but their actual death date is not known.
Syntax
((Birth based on age at death|age|YYYY|MM|DD))
Example
((Birth based on age at death|93|1978|09|12)): 1884 or 1885
((Birth based on age at death|25|1846|01|04)): 1820 or 1821
Combines functions of ((Birth date)), ((birth-date)), ((birth date and age)), ((birth year and age)), ((death date)), ((death-date)), ((death date and age)), and ((death year and age)).
To display approximate birth year and current age given a particular date (e.g. when a dated reference mentions the age of a person), only works for living people.
