Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 8, 1855 (antique-collecting.co.uk; Alfred Wallis: Child Pauper to Artistic Luminary; Object in Focus: Alfred Wallis, A Brig Close to Shore (c.1928)) or August 18, 1855 (Benezit Dictionary of Artists; RKDartists; Le Delarge; SNAC).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
