This 8 October control update supersedes earlier date-specific summaries on this page where they differ. It is the current public status view. Documented facts are distinguished from planned actions; a missing record is not treated as proof of its contents.

Controlling property-loss case — 9 October 2026. The family’s established title case is that the 1877 arrangement took effect in 1928 when quarrying and rent to Thomas ended, passing the full Parcel A to the Williams family. Parcel A includes the farmhouse/buildings, barn, stable and yard west of the house, garden, forest north of the house, and ground south-east later registered as VG41. Parcel B is the separate eastern agricultural fields. The 1939 WGR–John Williams agreement/plan is already obtained and depicts Parcel B only. The family’s account is that the 1949 attempt to make Mary’s occupation appear permissive failed, the title deed was reported missing in 1950–52, and WGR’s 4 July 1955 enforcement of Parcel B also seized the Parcel-A north forest and south-east green under “whole farm” wording. Mary’s defence of the remaining occupied house/buildings/garden group did not narrow the full Parcel-A claim. The primary title case and the alternative limitation case (twelve years from 1928 potentially maturing by 1940 if statutory conditions were met) are distinct. Current execution focuses on tracing the forest and green through subsequent titles and remedies; D696 is background only, and no 1939 retrieval is needed.

Control rule: HubSpot is the private execution ledger; the Wiki is the public record. The status table is updated weekly and the Highlight Report monthly. An acknowledgement is not a result: a request is complete only when its acceptance test is met.
