Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1814 (Dictionary of Welsh Biography; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology; Find a Grave; MAK) or June 25, 1815 (No external source identified).
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.

A source is P248 “stated in” or a non-Wikimedia reference URL. Import-only references do not qualify.
