Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: See the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution, people and evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026. A placeholder records an evidence gap, not the letter’s content or proof of misconduct.

Forensic Assessment — Cardiff Registration Service#

Scope: civil-registration function only.

Role#

The Service is relevant to identity and death-record chronology, including the date and identity of Mary Doreen (Nancy) Williams, formerly Buckler. It did not decide title, registration or possession.

Forensic control test#

Confirm the exact civil-registration entry, registration district, date and any lawful correction/transfer history. Where historic records have moved between custodians, record the chain.

Current finding#

No adverse finding is established. A death registration is corroborative identity evidence; it does not itself determine succession to land.

Human action#

Complete the outstanding transferred-record request and preserve a certified/official copy where obtainable. Cross-check the date against the 1983 HMLR correspondence only after the primary record is fixed.

Acceptance: identity/death evidence is certified and entered into the standing/succession chronology.

Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index#

Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Cardiff Registration Service”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. Dates are transcribed from page titles where available; “Date not explicit in title” means the linked source must be consulted. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive external coverage. 🕒
