Even though the date in the Infobox has a citation, if you enlarge the lower left corner, you'll see a date on the x-ray film of "April 13/09". I take this to mean that the x-ray was actually done on either "April 13, 1909" or "April 9, 1913". Given that the x-ray was done in England, either date could be correct but the issue could probably be settled by someone who's familiar with British date notations.
Also, I challenge the "1896" date simply by how well formed and 'mature' the bones are. There are too well formed/mature to be that of a 4 year old child; but not of someone either 17 or 21 years of age.
I removed the year from the article caption. I don't think there is any doubt they are Norah's hands even if the exact year is in doubt. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:26, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
