Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: March 2, 1866 (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction; SNAC; Internet Speculative Fiction Database) or March 9, 1866 (BnF authorities) or March 10, 1866 (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; IdRef).

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.
