Ireland switched calendars along with Britain in 1752. I'm presuming that the birthdate which was listed (November 4) is the New Style date, but if it was the Old Style, then the New Style would be November 16. MisfitToys 21:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I haven't found any information on his birthdate other than November 4th. I will look into it some more. Dincher 21:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
