The date of death of 1885 is wrong - it should be 1855. There was an obituary published in the same year, in Proc Roy Soc 1854-1855 vol 7 pp 577-582. (Information from http://royalsociety.org/). C0pernicus (talk) 14:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the DNB article also has 1855, I suspect a simple typo introduced the error. DuncanHill (talk) 14:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oops! Thanks for spotting that, COpernicus. Carcharoth (talk) 18:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
