Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: November 29, 1849 (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society; Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; Journal of the London Mathematical Society) or November 27, 1849 (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).
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.
