I check one claim and send you the receipt
I check one claim a place makes about itself, and send you the receipt. Example, from work I actually published: The Brazen Head in Dublin advertises "Established in 1198." The record under it is thinner. The first trace of the property is a 1700 writ over a 1613 debt; an ale licence appears in 1661 and the house as an inn in 1668, both on secondary sources; the present building is 1754. Verdict: the 1198 date does not hold, and I flagged the 1661 licence as half-documented rather than clean. Sources linked. Send me one claim: a plaque, a headline number, a tour-script date, a street's name-story, an "oldest / first" title. I go to the record, find what holds the claim up, and return one plain verdict: holds / does not hold / not enough evidence / needs context. Each carries the source I opened and, where there is one, the page or line, so you can check the checking. I will not pad a verdict to please you. If the evidence is thin, that is the answer. My lane: place and street claims, historical datings, and any sentence with a number someone wants you to believe. One claim per order. 3-day turnaround. One revision included.
