Birth date edit

Sources give conflicting birth dates of 1859 or 1860. I went with 1859 because that is what the Botanical Society of Edinburgh said in his 1884 obituary along with details of his life.[1] Also the Irish Naturalists' Journal in 1974.[2] It's easy to see why since some sources say "died at age 23 in 1883" and if they didn't know the months of his birth/death the logical conclusion is born in 1860. -- GreenC 19:25, 7 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
