[edit] Birth and baptism
A number of sources say he was born on 16 September 1795, but a number of others say words to the effect of "Although his exact birth date is not known, he was baptized on 17 September 1795". What do the former sources know that the latter ones don't? Is this a case such as happened with Beethoven for a long time, where it has been simply assumed that he was born the day before he was baptised? Or is there something more concrete about 16 September? -- JackofOz (talk) 14:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
