Conception

I have twice (not logged in to my account but it was me who made the edits) added to the article that, assuming that Miyako was conceived before the end of 1900, she was the last known human conceived in the 19th century. Both times it was reverted by User:DerbyCountyinNZ.

The article on Nabi Tajima states that she was the last living person certified to have been BORN in the 19th century, so I think it is inconsistent not also to mention conception.

Perhaps the Wikipedia guidelines make it obvious why metioning this is mere 'trivia', as User:DerbyCountyinNZ put it; as far as I can remember I picked Wikipedia up as I went along without ever really looking at the guidelines. But it doesn't hurt to mention it here.
