	Angela, I'm not sure what your question is. If all the siblings have MMN = TIMMINS, and he's in the same family, then this record is consistent with the others. Christine

	A powerful support for the mistranscription thesis is that I didn't even notice that the siblings' surname didn't have the extra N in it. If someone knows the name TIMMINS and not the name TIMMIS, they may not realise that they've misread the text - they'll see what they expect to see - as I did. Christine
