*There are a few issues with this character's chronological timeframe. For one, ''[[Pottermore]]'' reveals that the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] was only formally established in [[1700s|1707]], 58 years after Mnemone Radford died, so it is uncertain exactly how she could have worked for the Ministry. Even if one considers that the phrase "Ministry of Magic" used on ''[[Wizard of the Month]]'' is an over-simplification of "[[Wizards' Council]]", it is still left unexplained what use would an [[Obliviator]] have in the days before the establishment of the [[International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy]] in [[1690s|1692]].
