The database now has movies for every decade of cinema history (including the 1890s and 1900s) and I have added to the database one of the oldest boy actors whose birthdate is known, Tom Williamson, who starred in the genuinely amusing and hilarious comedy short "Our New Errand Boy" (1905), which can be viewed on Youtube - there's even a 'Newly restored' version, with 'restored' intertitles (how accurate, I can't say) under the title "The New Errand Boy". Here's Tom's profile page:

He was around the same age as my Paternal Grandfather! I don't remember the exact year he was born, but I know it was that decade.
I love finding out about some of the pioneers of cinema, especially now that cinema is over a century old!
