• Notes

  The probability that a child is born on the same day (i.e., 6 Jan) as his next sibling and is the same sex as that next sibling is 00.14 percent, so it is diffuclt to believe that there were two John Benjamin MYRA's born exactly one year apart, rather than a mistake in the parish register. Also, John Benjamin MYRA dies in 1854 at the reported age of 27, which would place his birth in 1927 and, during that time period, two succeeding living children would almost surely not be given the same identical name. However, since the dates of baptism in the ZLL register are both different and consistent with the date of birth, and since ages at death were inexact at that time, there may well have been two John Benjamin ZINCK's in this family.
