Did not die in Ontario[edit]

He died in about 1800. Ontario did not exist until 1867. We should not treat places as somehow inherent before thry exist. If we have no better Category he would probably best be placed directly in deaths from tuberculosis over a historically using a name for a place over 50 years before it existed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:22, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The location still existed, even if it goes by another name. Please understand that removing that category looses information, even if it doesn't match your overly narrowview of nationality. Mason (talk) 22:05, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
