Blurb and article tweak to age?

Hello Brian, for tomorrow's TFA, in both this blurb and the article, I think his age on departing Australia should be changed from 13 to 12. (Perhaps he was 13 by the time they arrived in Europe?)

These are some possible wlinks which I leave to your judgement. (I had these and other notes re PG on my to do list from a while ago.) Sorry to dump this here at last minute. Nothing urgent except maybe the age in both places if your maths agrees.
