⛔ The record we hold stops here: no later instrument we have read cites this one, and no later conveyance by the grantee is linked by name. The index is complete to 1987, so the gap is in the words: deeds of this era seldom cite book and page, and only about half the instruments of 1936-1965 have been transcribed (some 6,000 were never imaged), so a citation to this deed may sit in a page not yet read.

The instrument's own words

Attribution under review. The portal's file number is shared by more than one instrument, and the words below could not be placed with certainty on this one by their own evidence (page stamp, parties, dates); they may belong to a neighbouring instrument. Read them as the record of the page, not yet as this deed's own.
