French Wikipedia has Eugène-François Ruchonnet born 29 August 1877 at Lausanne-Ouchy, Switzerland, deceased 15 January 1912 at La Vidamée, in the commune of Courteuil, near Senlis, département Oise, France, as a Swiss pilot.

We also have his fatal crash as occurring on 12 January 1912.[1]. The fatal crash as occurring on the 12th is corroborated by one of the very sources of the Wikipedia article.[2]

Our patent data has him filing from département Seine, France.[3][4][5]

See Armand-Jean-Auguste Deperdussin‎‎ for more on Ruchonnet in relation to other inventors and pilots.
