DOD[edit]

DAB gives Challis's death on 28 February 1880. Every contemporary newspaper reference (Trove) has 29 February (which may have been 28 February in London). ADB alone has 18 February. Doesn't necessarily make ADB wrong, but 10 days does seem rather a long time for the news to come from Ghent to Aix. I've changed the dated and notified ADB.
