What Has Been Read

Searched: Which Bristol nonconformist register would hold a baptism of about 1805

Named at last. The National Archives holds 36 RG 4 registers for Bristol, and FIVE of them cover 1805: RG 4/2697 (Broad Mead, Baptist, 1787–1817), RG 4/1830 (Lewins Mead, Presbyterian, 1718–1840), RG 4/388 (Bridge Street, Congregational, 1714–1837), RG 4/913 (Ebenezer Chapel King Street, Wesleyan, 1793–1819) and RG 4/1792 (Castle Green, Independent, 1784–1816). Only the Moravian register is transcribed in FreeREG. “Write to Bristol” is now five named documents. →

Searched: Whether any of the 29 is kin to Hannah

One household is worth naming. At St Philip and St Jacob, a mile from Drivers Fields: THOMAS SINEGAR, 30, a BREWER, with Martha 31 and children James 11, LYDIA 9, Thomas 7 and Martha 2. A Saniger of the right generation, in the right city, who named a daughter Lydia. But he is entered as born in Gloucestershire and Hannah is not, and the 1841 census records no relationships. Candidate kin, and nothing more. →

Searched: Robert D'Arcy's career, from the government's own notices rather than a printed roll

Ten notices name him between 1793 and 1819, each citable by issue and page. The one read in full: 19 July 1813, issue 16755, page 1431 — “Brevet Colonel Robert D'Arcy to be Colonel, vice Evelegh”, in an Office of Ordnance list of Royal Engineers promotions. The archive has cited Connolly's Roll for this career since it was built; the Gazette is the source Connolly was compiled from. →

Searched: Who Hiram and Aaron Wakefield married four months apart in 1861

Margaret Birch's own death registration, 1898/B/30356, names her parents as JOHN BIRCH and ANNIE REEVES — so the two brothers married two daughters of one household. Nine of their children are traceable in the same index: four to Hiram and Margaret, five to Aaron and Elizabeth Ann. →

Searched: Whether NSW State Archives is still unreachable

It is not. This archive recorded NSW State Archives as “migrated to mhnsw.au, old URLs dead”. mhnsw.au is live and the State Archives catalogue is at search.records.nsw.gov.au, a Primo instance. Its API needs a session so it could not be queried here, but the institution is no longer between houses and the entry was out of date. →

Searched: The Sneyd households of the Potteries, assembled rather than searched

THE CHAIN CLOSES. William Sneyd, WEAVER — the man who married Mary Blackbourne at Madeley on 27 March 1769 — baptises thirteen children there between July 1769 and December 1794, and the 1779 entry names the mother MARY. Their SAMUEL is baptised 4 June 1781. The tree puts Samuel in 1769; the register puts him in 1781, and 1769 is the year his eldest brother William was baptised, three months after the wedding. →

Searched: The parish Robert D'Arcy served in for decades and died in, never searched

Seven D'Arcy records, and they are the best material this archive has ever had on the line. Robert D'Arcy buried 19 May 1827, AGE 76. Jane D'Arcy — Jean Ward — buried 21 March 1823, AGE 66. Constantine D'Arcy buried 9 May 1805, entered as “Lt in the Royal Engineers”. Margarett Maria Isabella D'Arcy married by licence in 1806, witnessed by her brother Joseph. And Charlotte, daughter of “George Pitt D'Arcy, Bt: Major 39th Foot”, born 29 April 1825 and baptised eight days before the England sailed. →

Searched: The parish the tree names as Samuel Charles Sneyd's birthplace, never searched before today

FOUND. Samuel Sneyd, born 13 March 1811, baptised 28 April 1811 — father Samuel, mother Elizabeth, abode Hanley. The tree names exactly those parents. A sister, Mary, follows in 1814 with the father's occupation recorded: SERVANT. Every previous search had gone to Madeley because that is where the disproved Keele graft pointed. →

Searched: William Sneyd and Mary Blackbourne, whom the tree names as Samuel's parents

Found, and it had been in the results list all along. Madeley All Saints, 27 March 1769, entry 68: William SNEYD, WEAVER, and Mary BLACKBOURNE, witnessed by Robert Sneyd and John Kidd. This archive reported the line unevidenced this morning without following it up. →

Searched: How and when the Wakefields reached Australia, and whether the passenger register gives Hannah's native place

FOUND, with the register scan. The ship GENERAL HEWITT, Brisbane, 16 December 1854, 394 souls. James Wakefield 48, a MASON — matching the 1841 census's “Mason Journeyman” — with Hannah 48, Jabez 11, Zillah 8 and Ephraim 5; Hiram 16 a plumber and Aaron 14 entered separately among the single men, both native place BRISTOL; and Marion Wakefield 14, a domestic, among the single women, also Bristol. Marion is Miriam. The emigration is now dated to the day. →

Searched: Every Queensland death registration whose mother is recorded as a Saniger

THE ANSWER. Five of Hannah's children died in Queensland and every registration names her: Ephraim 1868 “Anna Sanniger”, Aaron 1896 “Hannah Sanegar”, Zillah 1900 “Hannah Saniger”, Hiram 1905 “Hannah Sanigar”, Miriam 1909 “Hannah Saniger”. Five clerks, forty-one years, four spellings — and the father given as James Wakefield on all five. →

Searched: Her parents, from her own registration

Registration 1873/C/603, died 4 July 1873 — matching the tree to the day. Her father is entered as “John JENNIGER”. The tree says John Saniger. A capital S read as a J is one of the commonest misreadings in nineteenth-century clerking, and the forename and the rest of the surname agree exactly. Her mother is not given. →

Searched: The father of the family, died Brisbane 8 July 1857

Registration 1857/B/135, and it names HIS father: RICHARD WAKEFIELD. A generation the archive did not have, and the first Wakefield above James anywhere. →

Searched: Miriam Wakefield's marriage, and her siblings'

Miriam Wakefield married WILLIAM HARTLEY SNEYD on 15 November 1859 at Brisbane, registration 1859/B/255 — the marriage that joins the Wakefields to the Sneyds, and she was nineteen, not twenty-one as this archive had said. Her brothers Hiram and Aaron married Margaret and Elizabeth Ann BIRCH four months apart in 1861; Jabez married Margaret Fraser in 1863; Zillah married John Ludwig Frederick in 1871. →

Searched: Any trace of Robert D'Arcy and Jean Ward at Portsea, where the tree says they married on 21 June 1779

FOUND, and it is the first record of Robert D'Arcy in an English parish register this archive has ever had. Joseph D'ARCY, baptised Portsea St Mary 19 March 1780 — father ROBERT, mother JEAN. Nine months after the marriage the tree asserts, at the same church. It is the only D'Arcy record in the whole county. →

Searched: The real Sneyd line under the disproved Keele graft

110 Sneyd records at Madeley All Saints. The 1742 baptism that killed the Keele claim reads: William Sneyd, 12 September 1742, father William Sneyd. And two years later: “William, son of William SNEYD”, buried 29 September 1744. If that is the same child — and in one small parish it is the obvious reading — the archive's Sneyd line is anchored to a boy who died at two. →

Searched: Surname Wakefield, whole county; then the household page itself

THE FIND. HO107/374, enumeration district 13, page 10, dwelling 1615, Drivers Fields, civil parish of St Paul, Bristol: James Wakefield 35 a mason journeyman, Hannah 35, Hiram 4, Aaron 1, Miriam 1 — and Lyddya SINEGAR, 70, Independent. The tree records Hannah's mother as Lydia and her brother Jabez born at “Drivers Field”; neither was copied from this record, which nobody in the family had read. →

Searched: Where the Vale of Berkeley Sanigers went

97 across Gloucestershire, 29 of them in Bristol, spelled SINEGAR, SUNIGAR, SENGEIR, SANGER and SINGER. The family did leave the Vale, and Bristol is where a good part of it went. →

Searched: Dursley, Cam, Thornbury, Stinchcombe, Coaley, Slimbridge, Uley, North Nibley, Wotton-under-Edge

Dursley St James runs 1577–1951 with 30,784 records and Cam St George 1568–1939 with 17,150. Both cover the whole of the archive's Saniger chain. The /berkeley page had implied those generations were untestable because Berkeley stops in 1677; they were testable all along, three miles away. →

Searched: Fuzzy surname search, all record types, whole county

494 records. Cam 184, Dursley 156, Thornbury 55, Berkeley 18. Three baptisms match the tree's dates almost exactly: Thomas at Dursley 17 Mar 1711/12, William at Dursley 6 Nov 1743, William at Dursley 27 Sep 1770. →

Searched: Where the family goes after the chain is supposed to leave Berkeley

139 records, continuous through the whole century, centred on Cam (67), Dursley (28) and Thornbury (17). The family never leaves the Vale — and in 139 records it never once marries a Wakefield. →

Searched: Miriam Wakefield, born Bristol 11 April 1840

FOUND. Birth registered June quarter 1840, Bristol district, volume 11, page 183 — the only Miriam Wakefield registered anywhere in England between 1839 and 1843. A birth on 11 April falls in the June quarter exactly as it should. Her GRO certificate names her mother with her maiden surname, which would test “Saniger” directly. →

Searched: Every spelling of D'Arcy and Sneyd against Brisbane and Queensland papers, 1840–1950; obituaries, funeral notices, insolvency reports, memorial notices

Lindesay D'Arcy's 1936 obituary, confirming five details of a eulogy delivered 74 years later and restoring one the family had lost — that he served in France. George Pitt D'Arcy's 1849 obituary and the verdict “gout which had flown to the head”. The 1926 insolvency and the 1927 fraudulent-preference action against the bank. Arthur Sneyd's memorial notices and “Ruby”. Vivian Claude Sneyd at Gallipoli. →

Searched: “Sneyd” and “D'Arcy” across every series; then item-level fetches through the JSON API

Forty-one items under Sneyd. The find of the day: coronial file ITM2736504 (DR103140), an inquest nobody in the family knew existed. Also the 1873 insolvency of William Hartley Sneyd, Arthur's 1916 intestacy, four wills, two police staff files and nine land dealings. →

Searched: Every Sneyd, D'Arcy, Blum, Wakefield and Murdoch death registration, 1856–1996

Sixty registrations, eighteen of them published. Queensland death registrations name the deceased's parents, which is why this one free index carries more proved relationships than every other source on this page combined. →

Searched: Three AIF service dossiers, read page by page at native resolution

Arthur Hartley Sneyd 5050 (30 pp.), Vivian Claude Sneyd 1696 (21 pp.), Ernest Vivian William Sneyd 3891 (92 pp.). Arthur's corrected his trade from clerk to typist and his burial from “France” to no known grave. →

Searched: The Red Cross Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau file for 5050 Sneyd

Twenty-three pages, six witness statements, six different answers. A friend still searching thirteen months later from a lecture room at New College, Oxford. →

Searched: Honours and awards recommendation files for Sneyd

The Bar to Vivian Claude Sneyd's Military Medal, in full: Westhoek, 4 October 1917, signed by Lieut-Col A. Graham Butler and endorsed “Awarded”. →

Searched: D'Arcy wills in PROB 11; WO 97 discharge papers; ADM 101 surgeons' journals; Ordnance series

PROB 11/1728/64 — Robert D'Arcy's own will, proved 4 July 1827, digitised and unordered. ADM 101/26/1, the surgeon's journal of the convict ship England, which names Major George Pitt D'Arcy four times and closes a 23-year loop on how he died. →

Searched: Full-text sweep of the colony's civil establishment lists for every family surname

Thirty-seven years of Sneyds on the Queensland payroll. William Hartley Sneyd, Fount-room Overseer at the Government Printing Office on £225, in the public service from 1 February 1862 — matching his widow's sworn “about 12 years” to the year. →

Searched: Every spelling of Saniger, 1600–1677, plus a county-wide fuzzy sweep

Forty-four Sainger entries at Berkeley and 238 across the county. One candidate baptism, 24 May 1655, giving a father the archive never had — Edward Sainger of Wanswell. And the unexpected result: the surname's centre is Dursley and Cam, not Berkeley. →

Searched: Robert D'Arcy and Constantine D'Arcy

Entry 203 — Robert's whole career, 2nd Lt 1776 to Major-General 1819, C.B., died Chatham 13 May 1827. Entry 335 — Constantine, died Chatham 6 May 1805. Neither entry records a parent, which is itself the finding. →

Searched: Murdoch of St Quivox, Ayrshire

A generation documented. Also the reason the DNA points here: this is a quarter of the tested descendant and the archive has half its ancestor slots empty. →

Searched: One living descendant's result, against the tree's own prediction

Agreement, not contradiction: British Isles 80.1% measured against 93.4% predicted. And the test that matters — cutting both grafts moves the prediction by 0.39 of a percentage point. →

Searched: John Maddock Jones, Esq., of Penybryn in Ruabon, who married Robert D'Arcy's daughter in 1806

Not there. Denbighshire is well covered — a control returns more than 500 Smiths for 1780–1830 — and holds no John Maddock Jones at all. A Welsh gentry family joined to this one by marriage, and the transcribed registers of his own county do not have him. →

Searched: Where William the weaver was baptised, since it is not Madeley

There are exactly TWO William Sneyd records in the whole county for those twenty-five years, and both are Madeley: the baptism of 12 September 1742 and the burial of 29 September 1744. His baptism is not in Staffordshire's transcribed registers under any parish — not Wolstanton, not Betley, not Whitmore, not Keele. →

Searched: Whether the other D'Arcy men were gazetted

No Joseph D'Arcy between 1795 and 1850 — the six apparent hits are Joseph Darby and Joseph Dyas. No “Pitt D'Arcy” at all, and no D'Arcy tied to the 39th Regiment. Worth a caveat: an apostrophe in a name is exactly what nineteenth-century OCR loses, so a silent absence here is weaker evidence than the ten positive hits for Robert. →

Searched: The other eight children the tree gives Robert D'Arcy and Jean Ward

They are not there. Hampshire holds exactly one D'Arcy record in sixty years — Joseph's baptism of 1780 — and Kent holds thirteen, of which six are this family. Of ten children the tree claims, the registers of the two counties they are supposed to have lived in yield two. The Corps moved them: a son was christened at Bridgetown in Barbados in 1786, and wherever else the Board of Ordnance sent them is where the rest will be. →

Searched: Bedminster, Long Ashton, Temple, St Mary Redcliffe and Brislington — the Bristol parishes that lay in Somerset

Bedminster and Long Ashton ARE transcribed — a control search returns Hannah Smiths in both — and neither holds a Hannah Saniger. Temple, St Mary Redcliffe and Brislington return nothing at all and appear not to be transcribed. So the Somerset-side hypothesis survives only in the parishes nobody can search. →

Searched: Eliza (b.1832), Ellen (1834) and Martha (1836), who are not on the passenger list

No trace of any of them in Queensland, in deaths or marriages, under Wakefield or as a mother's maiden name. Twenty-two, twenty and eighteen when the General Hewitt sailed, they did not go and they do not appear to have followed. The family split at the quayside and three adult daughters stayed in England. →

Searched: The generation above James Wakefield, named on his 1857 Queensland death registration

One candidate in the whole county: Richard Wakefield, baptised Chedworth 21 December 1770. Chedworth is in the Cotswolds, forty miles from Bristol, and nothing connects him to this family but a name and a plausible date. Recorded as a candidate and nothing more. →

Searched: Any Wakefield or Saniger of this family in the fraction of Bristol that is transcribed

One Wakefield baptism only — Louisa, 25 November 1832, Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, Lodge Street — and her father is James CUBIT Wakefield of St Augustine's parish, with a wife Mary. Not this family. No Saniger appears in any Bristol register at all. The transcribed fraction of Bristol has now been exhausted. →

Searched: Sneyd, Atkinson, Atwell, Murdoch, Matson, Creech, Keeling and Blum arrivals

Only the Wakefields came assisted. Sneyd returns nothing — correctly, since Samuel Charles arrived with the 4th (King's Own) in 1832. Paul Cole Atkinson and Jane Creech, who emigrated in 1862, are not in it; nor Eliza Keeling, nor John Blum, nor any Murdoch of the right age. The index covers assisted passages only, so the finding is that this family's other lines PAID — and the Wakefields, a mason's family of eight, took the free passage. →

Searched: Hannah Saniger, born about 1805, in the counties around Bristol

Nothing. One Hannah SENGAR buried at Chaddesley Corbett in 1801, and she is a burial. Control-tested: both county groups return more than 500 Smiths for the same twenty years, and Wiltshire alone holds 358 Saniger-variant records around Salisbury and the Knoyles. Eight counties have now been searched for this woman and she is in none of them. →

Searched: Whether the register gives Hannah Wakefield's own county

It does not. Her county is a ditto mark under her husband's “Gloucester”, which is the household head's county and not a statement about her. The register plainly distinguishes the two — it enters her three eldest children as Bristol on the same day — so the ditto cannot be read as her birthplace. Hannah's origin remains the open question. →

Searched: All 556 records read one by one and reconstituted into households, rather than searched by name

81 households assembled from 196 baptisms naming a father. Not one has a mother called Lydia; not one is a John and Lydia; there is a single Hannah baptised in the whole county, at Stinchcombe in 1730; and only three households bear children between 1795 and 1815. Hannah is not in Gloucestershire — which the 1841 census had already said by entering her as born out of the county. →

Searched: Lyddya Sinegar of the 1841 census, who should have died in England

Not there. A deliberately loose phonetic search — loose enough to return SCHONSWAR and SMOOKER — finds no Lydia Saniger, Sanigar or Sinegar death in Bristol in those thirty-four years. The nearest are an infant Lydia Ann Sanigear at Islington in 1847 and an unnamed SANIGAR at Thornbury in 1851. Either she died under a married surname, or under a spelling the index does not reach. →

Searched: Hannah Wakefield's exact birthplace, which 1841 does not give

Not applicable, and worth recording as such: the family had emigrated. James Wakefield died at Brisbane in July 1857, so by 1861 there was nobody in England to enumerate. The plan to get Hannah's birthplace from a later English census was sound and the family had left before it could work. →

Searched: William Sneyd bapt. 1746 and Samuel Sneyd bapt. 1769, both said by the tree to be at Madeley

Neither exists. Madeley holds Samuel 1745, Joseph 1746, John 1748, Simeon 1751 and no William; and its only Samuel is baptised 1781. The parish is transcribed continuously — 110 Sneyd records from 1699 — so both are real absences. This archive had been using a 1742 William instead, four years off the tree's date, and that child may be the one buried in 1744. →

Searched: Whether Lyddya Sinegar of the 1841 census followed her family to Queensland

No Lydia Saniger death is registered in Queensland under any spelling. She was seventy in 1841; the family did not emigrate until after 1849. She stayed, and died, in England. →

Searched: Whether the tree's “Berkley, Gloucester” is really Berkley in Somerset, which would explain Hannah being born out of county

It is not. Berkley Somerset is transcribed in full — 7,967 records, 1545–1903 — and the family there is spelled SINGER in every one of 58 entries, with no Hannah baptised near 1805. A clean answer to a good question. →

Searched: The full transcription of each, to read the fathers

The chain fails. Thomas 1711/12 is the son of ABRAHAM; William 1743 the son of JOHN; William 1770 the son of SAMUEL. Three men who happen to be baptised in the right parish in the right years, and no two of them are father and son. The date-match was a coincidence. →

Searched: The generation the tree puts at 1805

None. Not a coverage gap: Dursley runs to 1951 and Cam to 1939, so the window is well covered. The tree's 1805 Saniger does not exist in Gloucestershire. →

Searched: The one Saniger the archive actually needs: Miriam Wakefield's mother

35 fuzzy matches and not one of them in Gloucestershire. All are Somerset and Wiltshire SINGER or SANGER — different families the phonetic match swept up. Hannah Saniger is not in the Gloucestershire registers. →

Searched: A Wakefield–Saniger marriage, every spelling, 1837–1870

None. The earliest Saniger or Sanigar marriage registered in the Bristol district is John Sanigar in the March quarter of 1846 — six years after Miriam was born. Control-tested: the same harness returns 21,248 Wakefield marriages for 1838–1842, so the search works and the absence is real. James Wakefield and Hannah Saniger did not marry in Bristol after civil registration began on 1 July 1837. →

Searched: Lindesay Atkinson D'Arcy's AIF dossier, under every spelling of the name

Nothing. The method was then control-tested by running the same query for his brother-in-law Arthur Sneyd, which returned his dossier at once — so the absence is real and not a bad search. The archive had previously claimed a fourteen-page dossier “is known to exist”; that claim was withdrawn. →

Searched: The will of the 4th Earl of Holderness

No PCC will that can be found. This was the single best hope of testing whether the Earl acknowledged a natural son, and it is not there to test. →

Searched: An obituary or death notice for Major-General Robert D'Arcy, C.B.

Empty. A Companion of the Bath and a colonel of Engineers died at Chatham and the magazine of record did not notice. That silence is part of the argument on /hornby. →

Searched: A baptism for Robert D'Arcy, c.1750–1758

Nothing, under any spelling. Combined with Connolly recording no parentage and the Gentleman's Magazine recording no death, the parentage question is not disputed — it is unknown. →

Searched: A cadet of the early 1770s

The wrong record set entirely: WO 149 begins in 1790 and is held at Sandhurst. The archive had recommended it without checking its date range, and said so. →

Searched: The citation for Vivian Claude Sneyd's first Military Medal

The Gazette records the award but does not name him in a citation. The Bar was found instead, at the AWM. →

Searched: A service record for Samuel Charles Sneyd, Governor of Brisbane Gaol

Searched twice. He appears exactly once in the whole QSA catalogue and it is not a service record. A man who ran a colonial gaol for over a decade has left no staff file that survives. →

Searched: The diocesan second copy, which often survives where a parish book fails

FreeREG holds none. Madeley's 78 records are 72 “Other Transcript” and 6 “Parish Register”; Staffordshire as a whole has only seven Bishop's Transcript records and not one is Madeley's. The Lichfield diocesan transcripts exist — they are simply not here. That is a named errand, not a null. →

Searched: The Creech–Atkinson marriage at Carrigaline in 1853, and the Atkinson and Mulcahy lines

Cloudflare bot verification, which this archive will not attempt to defeat. This is the third such block today and by far the most costly: it is free, it needs no login, it covers Cork and Limerick, and this archive has THREE Irish lines and has never searched an Irish record. →

Searched: The whole D'Arcy side, who were New South Welshmen and not Queenslanders

Cloudflare bot verification, which this archive will not attempt to defeat. It is the single largest untouched index for this family: George Pitt D'Arcy died at Parramatta in 1849, George Lindsay was born there in 1829, and Charlotte crossed as an infant. Queensland's equivalent index gave this archive sixty registrations and five spellings of Saniger. A person with a browser can run it in ten minutes. →

Searched: Newspaper coverage of the voyage the family arrived on

Trove's search will not render in this environment — a limitation already recorded in the method notes. The arrival date was confirmed independently from other sources, and the Moreton Bay Courier's shipping column for 23 December 1854 was read directly by rendition: it lists arrivals from 19 to 22 December and does not reach back to the 16th. The issue that would carry it has not been located. →

Searched: About 1795–1804, wherever Hannah was born

Cannot be attempted usefully. Hannah was born outside Gloucestershire and the archive does not know where, so there is no parish to search; and if the marriage was at Berkeley the transcript ends in 1677 regardless. This one needs Hannah's birthplace first, and that now depends on a certificate. →

Searched: The generation above Francis Murdoch of St Quivox

128 Murdoch records in Ayrshire, across Galston, Tarbolton, Ayr, Kirkoswald, Loudoun, Dailly, Beith and Dunlop — and St Quivox is not among the parishes with data. The county is thinly covered (202 Smiths for the whole of the eighteenth century) and the one parish this archive needs is not in it. →

Searched: Jean Ward, born South Leith 1754

Midlothian's holding is Edinburgh, Canongate, Restalrig and Dalry. South Leith is not transcribed. Not a null result — the parish is simply not there. →

Searched: Richard Atkinson and Anne, and anything else in the county

Zero records for the entire county. A control search for SMITH across the whole of the eighteenth century returns nothing at all. FreeREG lists County Limerick in its search form and holds no data for it. →

Searched: The same household ten years on, for the relationships and exact birthplaces 1841 does not give

221 Gloucestershire Wakefields are transcribed for 1851 and 31 of them in Bristol, but not this family. Nationally only 36% of the 1851 pieces are online and the piece covering Drivers Fields is not among them. A coverage gap, not an absence — and the record that would turn the Lyddya Sinegar inference into a fact. →

Searched: Every register FreeREG holds for Bristol, checked before searching rather than after

Four registers and 1,551 records for a city of 120,000: Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel (81, 1820–1837), Methodist Bishopston (98, 1891–1915), Moravian Maudlin Street (1,016, 1755–1865) and Temple of Holy Cross (356, 1834–1849). St Paul, Bristol — where the tree says Miriam Wakefield was baptised — is not among them. The Wakefield–Saniger join cannot be tested here, and any “not found” would have been a lie. →

Searched: Five generations of the Saniger chain, 1679 to 1805

Not a null result and must not be reported as one: the Berkeley transcript stops in 1677. The records may well exist in the parish books; they are absent from the transcription, which is a different thing. →

Searched: Where Arthur Hartley Sneyd is commemorated

Bot-blocked, twice. A free two-minute search that a person can run and this archive cannot. →

Searched: Mounted Police and convict-era records for Samuel Charles Sneyd

The catalogue migrated to mhnsw.au and the old URLs are dead. Between houses. →

Searched: General searching beyond the two files reached by direct URL

Mid-migration. Two documents were reached by constructing S3 URLs directly; the search itself would not answer. →

Searched: Newspaper coverage of William Hartley Sneyd's insolvency

The QSA file proves the insolvency exists. Trove's search interface would not surface the notice, repeatedly. The file itself is not digitised. →
