location unknown, date unknown

Hi - this seems to be an abbreviation for sans lieu and sans date referring to a place of birth or death.
Peer comment(s):

agree Joshua Wolfe : You are right -- I forgot this was FR>EN, not just a FR query!
1 min
agree Tony M : Probably more natural in EN to simply say 'date and place of birth unknown', for example.
