Neville recalls how his mother Wilsey, wanting to travel to America, would mentally prepare the trip until his father Joseph came home insisting she must go; the children, including Neville, Cecil and Victor, were parcelled out among others for the three or four months she was away.

Reasoning
Passage 534254: 'This one got Neville, that one got Cecil, that one got Victor', so Neville was a child at home when his mother made her three-to-four-month trips to America. He lived in Barbados until he sailed to New York in Sept 1922 (residence 20457).
before 1966
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [534254] belong to telling lecture nids [1237]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1966 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1966 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 4 February 1966
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1966 to before 1966-02-04.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1237 (certain delivery 1966-02-04); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1966`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1966-02-04 on nid 1237 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
