Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 22, 1832 (People active in the building of ships and boats; SNAC) or July 23, 1832 (Hvem er Hvem? (1912)).

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.
