Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q137441707. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1968, 2014, 2015 and 1929.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
