    Reasoning Neville places his mother's teaching 'as a child', with no specific age given. Bounded below by his established birth date, 1905-02-19 (hist_event 950), and above by his departure from Barbados at seventeen (hist_event 7418, ~1922-02-19 to 1923-02-18), since a childhood memory necessarily precedes his leaving as a young man. This span is much wider than 'child' likely means but is the only anchor-supportable bound available; held to possible confidence for that imprecision.

    Reasoning Passage 542050 states that Neville's mother told him the story 'when I was a child.' Childhood is an external life-phase anchor with no dated boundary in this packet, so the temporal evidence is retained without a year.

    Source Family Portraitdelivery claim on lecture nid 1472 (1969-08-04, certain)
    Reasoning The mother's teaching is recounted within lecture 1472 itself, delivered 1969-08-04 at certain confidence; this is the telling date.

    Reasoning Lecture node 1532 is independently dated 1971-06-14 by matching catalogue and removed-dateline evidence. This is additive because the occurrence is tied to Neville's undated childhood rather than computed from the lecture date.
