• Article is long enough and new enough. No problems with copyright. Images are appropriately licensed (one is fair use).
• Some of the sources are not WP:RS due to WP:UGC: Ancestry, BillionGraves; these should be replaced with higher-quality sources. RoySmith (talk) 03:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the review RoySmith. I have removed the two references and accompanying citations. I have replaced citations in the article. Bruxton (talk) 15:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

• ALT1 is approved. The ALT0 hook seems excessively verbose and oddly worded; "but" should separate two ideas which are in opposition which isn't the case here. RoySmith (talk) 16:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
