Talisman:
You know, I actually read all the intervening posts before sending 
my last one, and Eileen's hadn't shown up yet or I would have 
tailored my own.

Somewhere in my computations, I must have got myself turned around 
about Calli's son vs daughter (I wasn't intentinally making Frank 
illegitimate : P).  But, the same logic holds true, whether for 
Calli's son or daughter, allowing plenty of time for Calli to be 
Neville's great-grandma

But I took the extra  time on my dates:  

The necessary age differences do indicate that McG must have known 
Augusta via a teacher/student relationship. 1941 is the earliest 
Augusta can be born for that to happen, though Calli's son could 
have been born quite a bit earlier, and certainly as early as 1933.  

What's important in the Calli vs Augusta business is that Augusta 
can't have been born before 1941 and still have managed school 
experience with McG. I.e., it rules out Calli as being the right 
generation to be Neville's Gran, and establishes that Augusta--
whoever her parents might have been--must be young enough to be 
Calli's daughter/ daughter-in-law.
