You should have more confidence in your own findings. Any advice from me and the others here and the DT and even Child is not guaranteed to be right. Once you have gathered together all of the versions you have much more info than Child had and more than the rest of us here. By all means flag up any questionable points on meanings etc.

Regarding a possible incest element one needs to be cautious with this if it only occurs in one interim version.
