Autobiographical memory recalled by Neville in his lectures. Year derived: age 7 + birth 1905 = 1912. Told 6 times (1954-1969). Judged his own (not a retold third-party story) by the whose_age adjudication.

age 7 + birth 1905 = 1912 (6 statements, told 1954-1969)
between 19 February 1912 and 18 February 1914

Reasoning
Neville gives only his age at the time, hedged between seven and eight, with no year or place-independent date; using the birth-date anchor (hist_event 950), age seven runs 1912-02-19 to 1913-02-18 and age eight runs 1913-02-19 to 1914-02-18, so the honest combined claim is the full 1912-02-19 to 1914-02-18 range, not a single date. This is a decades-later recollection from a 1968 platform, kept at possible given his own hedge between two ages.

Reasoning
Passage 537893 is Neville narrating the English-lady-in-Barbados prophecy firsthand ('I know in my own case when I was a boy either seven or eight years old an old English lady, on a wind-swept area of Barbados...'). The lecture containing it, nid 1349, carries a single delivery claim dated 1968-04-08 exact/certain, cross-checked in its own processing notes against MLK's assassination (4 April 1968) and funeral (9 April, dated 'tomorrow' in the text). The telling inherits that same exact/certain precision.

Why
Flag for the dating lane: lecture nid 1010's 1964-04-20 and 1969-03-28 delivery claims look misattributed against this lecture's own 'fifty years of life' self-reference (age ~50, born 1905).
Reasoning
Passage 527734 references the lady's prophecy obliquely ('this is what that lady saw when I was but seven') while Neville reflects, 'after these fifty years of walking this earth' — matching age ~50 given his 1905 birth, i.e. circa 1954/55, not age 59 (1964) or 64 (1969). The owning lecture nid 1010 has three mutually conflicting 'certain' legacy delivery claims and no processing note resolves which is correct (its one note documents an unrelated duplicate-node merge). Only the 1954 claim fits the lecture's own 'fifty years' self-reference, so it is adopted here at reduced (probable) confidence rather than the lecture's nominal 'certain', with the 1964 and 1969 claims set aside as apparently misattributed to this lecture. The event's two dangling witnesses (passage 148283 tagged 'lecture, 1954' and passage 149951 tagged 'lecture, 1969') look like leftovers from the same passage-merge consolidation that left this passage double-cited.

Why
Flag for the dating lane: lecture nid 1036's delivery date should be re-examined against the Bertrand-Russell-death anchor (~April 1970) already named in its own processing notes.
Reasoning
Passage 528454 contains the 'when I was a boy of about seven' telling of the same prophecy story. The owning lecture nid 1036 carries two mutually conflicting 'certain' legacy delivery claims (1957 and 1968-05-10), and the lecture's own processing notes say NEITHER fits the internal evidence: the transcript twice names 1970 as the present year and refers to Bertrand Russell's death as recent (Russell died April 1970), which postdates both delivery claims. Since neither candidate is trustworthy and the true date may be later than both, this is written as a between claim spanning the two conflicting claims at possible confidence rather than asserting either one.
8 April 1968
estimated
Reasoning
The prophecy story is recounted within lecture 1349 itself, whose delivery date 1968-04-08 is recorded at certain, so the telling inherits that certainty.
