Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: June 20, 1819 (SNAC; International Music Score Library Project; Internet Broadway Database; filmportal.de; Discogs; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; Find a Grave; The Fine Art Archive Db) or July 8, 1822 (Offenbach, Jacques (BLKÖ)) or June 21, 1819 (Archivio Storico Ricordi).
