Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: November 21, 1851 (Biographie Nationale de Belgique; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Find a Grave; Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; SNAC) or November 22, 1851 (ODIS).
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.
