Answer 7

there is too much math involved for me. but it is easy math if you want to figure it out for yourself. don't forget about leap years when you are figuring this out.

Answer 8

Dang!  How many people does it take to give the exact same date?  No need to post it over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Answer 9

JAN. 11, 1891

Tombstone Birthdate Calculator with Tips:

Many older tombstones list age and date of death. This tool calculates birthdate from the age of death and the date of death on the tombstone, death certificate or obituary.

CALENDAR:   Gregorian (the calendar we use now)

MONTH LENGTH: regular calendar month

Using the math formula below, however it is figured like this:

    19341027 (yyyymmdd)

     -  431016 (yymmdd)

=  18910011(yyyymmdd) or JAN. 11, 1891

Tips from website (where calculator available):

Calculated dates should only be considered APPROXIMATE due to possible errors or possible different methodology used in the original calculation (found on the tombstone, obituary or death certificate). Be sure to note in your records that your date was calculated.

This calculator can use either the exact month method or the 30 day month method to compute a birthdate. While you may think the exact calendar month method may be more reliable, be aware that many of the headstone and obituary ages at death appear to have been computed using the 30-day-month method. (The 30-day-month method assumes that all months have 30 days. It's an approximation which agrees with the exact calendar month method about 2/3 of the time.)

A tombstone or death certificate is not considered a primary source for a birthday, but it can give you an approximate date of birth to help in further research.

The calculator could also be used to calculate birth year from census data or birthdate from wedding date and age.

The calculator allows Julian calendar dates, but you cannot mix Julian and Gregorian dates or ages in the same calculation.

Because of the change from the Julian to the Gregorian Calendar, the calculator may not work for anyone born between Sept. 2, 1752 and Sept. 14, 1752 (or when days were lost at the calendar changeover).

Be aware of when the calendar was changed from Julian to Gregorian in the country for which you are performing the calculation. See the change from Julian to Gregorian calendar by country.

To do this calculation by hand when the online calculator is not available, use the 8870 formula.(the calculator calls this the 30 day month length)

If a person died May 6, 1889 at age 71 years, 7 months and 9 days:

18890506

Year, day, month of death (yyyymmdd)

-710709 Subtract age at death (yymmdd)

_________

18179797

    -8870 Subtract constant 8870

________

18170927 Born 27 Sept. 1817 (yyyymmdd)

This person was born on September 27, 1817

Answer 10

january 11,1891 i think but you should probably make sure

Answer 11

THEN THEY would have been born January 11, 1891

Answer 12

December 11, 1890.  October is the tenth month, so anyone born in January, the first month, would be at most X years and NINE months in October.  So this person would have to have been born on DECEMBER 11; and then, for him to have been 43 in October, he would have to have been born  the year BEFORE the one you get by subtracting his age from his year of death.

So, Violet, it took quite a few people before two came up with the right answer.

Answer 13

irrelevant---i will be the next president

Answer 14

Jan 22th, 1891, if I calculated leap years right.

Answer 15

1/11/1891

Answer 16

ahaha

Answer 17

December 11, 1890 !

(assuming that he used calendar months)

lots of people are saying January but its December, October is the tenth month but January's one month so if you add ten its eleven, meaning that it has to be December .

and also 1934 was not a leap year so leap years don't have an effect.

aha,

I had so much funn doing that question I'm such a nerd ! :)

Answer 18

December 11, 1890.

(Assuming you're counting each "year" as whatever period of days that particular year covered, 365 days for 23 years and 366 days for 10 years, and each "month" similarly as whatever period of days that particular month covered, either 28, 29, 30 or 31, and don't need to "define a month or year as a period of time covering a fixed period of days, in which case, further calculation is necessary.)

Answer 19

jan 11 1891

Answer 20

It's a complex question, depending on what the person that wrote it meant by '10 months'... Odds are they meant 'calendar months' and not '10 x 30 days'.

My best guess would be to calculate it as such:

If they were *exactly* 43, they would have been born on 10/27/1891... So, backing up 10 months gets you to 12/27/1890... and backing up 16 days gets you to 12/11/1890.

Answer 21

December 11th 1891

Do you know the answer or are you trying to figure it out? Cause this might not be exactly right
