Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 4, 1832 (SNAC; National Library of Wales archives and manuscripts catalogue; hymnary.org; Muziekweb; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology; Integrated Authority File) or in 1833 (Integrated Authority File).

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.
