I have checked using the age difference between the mother and the child. There are 82 cases in which this difference is 12 years and less and there are 5 cases in which this difference is 60 years and more (please see attached file). So, the 419 children that I mentioned in my first post are instead 87 -- my bad.

In the file you attached, the 37 cases include observations in which the age difference is 57 and 58 and 59, meaning that in the end the 'strange' cases are even less, i.e. 33. Moreover, in your file, it is specified that the Input Data used is: C:\Projects\Analysis\UserForum\Mothers age mismatch\temp\mlir41.dat, while I am using the mlpr41.dat. Why are you using that one?

Can I ask you which R code you used to copy/paste the mother's information? I struggle at understanding why I find more cases than you do.
