Type Mismatch using Implicit Cursor

Question

The actual error I get is
PLS-00386: type mismatch found at 'EMP_REC' between FETCH cursor and INTO variables
I have copied the code in below (taken some logic out to make example easier). I think the problem is with the EMP_REC CHILDKNOWDES declaration - I dont think I need to add %ROWTYPE? Is the type mismatch a case of trying to parse an int into a string (which i have checked for), or a case of the object being stored with attributes in dif order (alphabetical?), or is something more sinister going on?
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE &HKDB_Schema_Name..CHILDKNOWDES AS OBJECT
KnowdeID INT,
Description varchar2(512),
Connector CHAR(1),
WhyCount INT
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE &HKDB_Schema_Name..TEMP_CHILDKNOWDES_TABLE AS TABLE OF &HKDB_Schema_Name..CHILDKNOWDES;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE &HKDB_Schema_Name..QueryChildKnowdes
aKnowdeID int,
aCur out sys_refcursor
AS
l_ChildKnowdeTable TEMP_CHILDKNOWDES_TABLE := TEMP_CHILDKNOWDES_TABLE();
EMP_REC CHILDKNOWDES;
BEGIN
     DECLARE CURSOR c1 is SELECT k.KnowdeID, k.Description, KnowdeAssociation.Connector
        FROM Knowde k
        INNER JOIN KnowdeAssociation ka on ka.KnowdeID = k.KnowdeID
BEGIN
     OPEN c1;
     FETCH c1 INTO EMP_REC;    --error
     WHILE c1%FOUND
     LOOP
     BEGIN
          QueryWhyCount(EMP_REC.KnowdeID, aWhyCountResult);
             l_ChildKnowdeTable.extend;
          l_ChildKnowdeTable(l_ChildKnowdeTable.last) := CHILDKNOWDES
          (EMP_REC.KnowdeID,
          EMP_REC.Description,
          EMP_REC.Connector,
          aWhyCountResult);
          FETCH c1 INTO EMP_REC;    --error
     END;
     END LOOP;
     END;
END QueryChildKnowdes;Thanks in advance,
