Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 9, 1834 (Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; Česká divadelní encyklopedie; The Fine Art Archive Db; Czech National Authority Database; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Vegetti Catalog of Fantastic Literature; Česká divadelní encyklopedie) or July 10, 1834 (Find a Grave; Neruda, Johann (BLKÖ)).
