Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 20, 1843 (Léonore database; birth certificate) or November 21, 1843 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; La France savante; 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.
