I think that the correction in the genealogies is later than the making of Meaglin B. But we have no outer evidence for this dating.

The outer evidence make The Shibboleth (1968 or later) and Meaglin B (1970 or later) contemporay documents. But the internal logic of changes suggest The Shibboleth to be later (in my oppinion).

However that might be, JRR Tolkiens memory so late in his life was not good enough for being sure about these things. So even if my dating (or rather sequencing) is wrong, the inner logic of such changes suggest strongly that Elenwë perishing in the Ice was what Tolkien wanted for the wife of Turgon.

Respectfully
