Biographical data

Notes:
Bernard Lucas gives 'Alfred Delanoy', but then gives a quote from La Régence attributed to 'Alph Delannoy'. Falkbeer in the Sunday Times of 21 June 1857 (supplement, p.4) gives his name as 'Delanoie'. Land and Water (6 Apr. 1878), quoted by Renette and Zavatarelli, gives 'Delaunoy'.
