Goldsmith, interviews and recollections, 1993 p. xiv, chronological table (Oliver Goldsmith; b. Nov. 10, 1728; d. 1774)
Worth, K. Sheridan and Goldsmith, 1992 p. 13 (Goldsmith b. 1730)
Dixon, P. Oliver Goldsmith revisited, c1991 p. ix, chronology (b. Nov. 10, 1731?) p. 1 (Goldsmith told a biographer that he had been born on 29 Nov. 1731, or perhaps it was 1730; his older sister said Nov. 10, 1729; references in Goldsmith's letters, together with alternative suggestions from other members of the family mean that every year from 1727 to 1731 has had its advocates)
