[edit]

This page says "After the death of their father in February 1593, Richard and his brother Cuthbert ..." But the page for James Burbage (father of Richard and Cuthbert) gives his death date as 1597. What year did James Burbage die? DerJKlinge (talk) 22:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date

I've also seen it as 7 January and even 7 July. How sure are we that it was 6 January? -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 20:43, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
