In ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' volume 12, ''[[The Peoples of Middle-earth]]'', an earlier version of the [[Took Family|Took family]] tree gives Hildigard's birth and death dates as 1235 and 1255 respectively, but this may no longer be accurate.

We know from the birth of her siblings [[Isengrim Took III|Isengrim]] and [[Isumbras Took IV|Isumbras]] that she must've been born between [[Third Age 2832|S.R. 1232]] and [[Third Age 2838|1238]], and more specifically around 1235 based on the average age gap between he 11 other siblings.
