Error corrections or clarifications

* His parents were not thrilled that his birth fell on Guy Fawkes Day (November 5th), so they changed his birth to "November 3rd," and celebrated it on that fabricated date throughout his life. The Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year 1968 erroneously reports the aforementioned fictitious date of birth as his actual date of birth.

NOTE: The address at which he was born, later became 34 Tite Street, Chelsea, London, England.
