Neville Goddard marries Catherine and daughter Victoria is born
Neville married Catherine in 1942; later that year she gave birth to their daughter Victoria ('Vicky').
Person: Neville Goddard
The record identifies Catherine Willa Van Schmus, witnesses J. N. Goddard and Margaret A. Van Schmus, and officiant C. Everett Wagner.
The ceremony was officiated by Rev. C. Everett Wagner; witnesses were J. N. Goddard and Margaret A. Van Schmus.
Broome recalls that Neville and the young designer who became his second wife each recognized the other as a future spouse when she attended his lecture; their marriage produced a daughter.

1942
stated
Reasoning
Neville states his daughter's birth year directly and unambiguously in his own lecture. The existing 1942 field_date claim (from a Wikipedia source_doc) carries no source entity; this adds Neville's own corroborating primary-source statement of the same year.
1942
stated · probable
Source
derived from the event's own title: "Neville's daughter is born in 1942"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1942 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

passage 555475: 'My daughter was born in 1942'
Reasoning
Neville explicitly states his daughter's birth year, directly grounding the event rather than relying on its derived title.
25 February 1942
stated · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 008): This is the marriage license date, already carried on its own sibling event (hist_event 20234); node 2212 distinguishes it from the 27 February ceremony, which this 'marries Catherine' event should carry instead.
Reasoning
The page reproduces the license date, residences, witnesses and certificate number, supporting the exact date.

estimated
Why
Flag for another lane: nid 1930 and nid 2200 share the exact same title ('He Is Dreaming Now') and the same 1970-05-08 delivery date -- likely a duplicate pair of scraped lecture nodes.
Reasoning
Passage 549333 in this lecture is Neville's own telling of his daughter's 1942 birth and meeting her mother in 1936.

PREFERRED delivery claim on lecture nid 2200 'He Is Dreaming Now', stated/exact/probable, 1970-05-08
Reasoning
Passage 555475 in this second node (same title, same date as nid 1930) carries the identical telling of the same anecdote -- written as a separate claim per the corpus's one-claim-per-telling-lecture rule, though the two nodes are likely duplicate scrapes of one recording.
8 May 1970

Source
certain preferred delivery claim on nid 2200
Reasoning
Passage 555475 belongs to nid 2200, independently dated 1970-05-08 certain by header and internal current-event evidence.
