The author C.S. Lewis died on the same day as JFK. You presume correctly on the other 2.

However, my knowledge of 19th century Scottish novelists is slim to non-existent, and I don’t see another DQ helping much, so I think I will have to concede defeat on this one! If inspiration strikes before the deadline I shall return.
