Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1621 (SNAC; BnF authorities; theaterencyclopedie.nl; Integrated Authority File) or in 1630 (Locke, Matthew (DNB00)) or in 1629 (CE / Matthew Locke) or in 1632 (Q27776652).
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.
