Article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
Information on work should be expanded
References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
External links to useful online resources should be added if available

Date of birth

I notice that the year of birth was changed from 1860 to 1866, by an IP editor on 12Aug2009, but categories and Mayo disambiguation article still show 1860. I don't have good refs, but perhaps someone can check further.PeterWD (talk) 08:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The 1866 date is the correct one. This is cited throughout a family genealogy of mine. 14thGenerationMayo (talk) 02:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
