Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1783 (SNAC; Biodiversity Heritage Library; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology; Trove; Integrated Authority File; Open Library; BnF authorities) or in 1782 (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).
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.
