[edit]

References with problems:

1.
a) Link rot. --- "Cassandra Austen: Jane Austen’s Beloved Older Sister" - http://www.janeausten.co.uk/cassandra-austen-jane-austens-beloved-older-sister/
b) The site markets and sells Austen publications and souvenirs.
c) Must register to read whole articles.
d) Unedited page - note "balme" for "blame".

2. Looks like a mostly unsourced fan site --- "Biography: Life (1775-1817) and Family" at "The Republic of Pemberly"?

3.
a) The site markets and sells Austen publications and souvenirs.
b) Must register to read whole articles. --- "A New Portrait of Jane Austen?" - http://www.janeausten.co.uk/new-jane-austen-portrait/

4.
a) Unmaintained site with broken links to images. Newer site for Berkshire Family History Society --- http://www.berksfhs.org.uk/cms/
b) "The Austen Collection" article isn't found on the new site.
c) The old, unmaintained site asks for User Name and Password on each page accessed.

5. Okay.

6.
a) Link rot. There are one of two choices for the lost article as Jane is mentioned in both of them.
EITHER --- "St Nicholas Church, Chawton" - http://www.chawton.info/Village-History/st-nicholas-church-chawton.html
OR --- "St Nicholas Church - Brief History" - http://www.chawton.info/Village-History/st-nicholas-church-brief-history.html

7.
a) Dead website.
ALTERNATIVE --- FindAGrave.com [NOT considered a reliable source by WP]: Jane, Cassandra, and Henry - http://www.findagrave.com/php/famous.php?page=gSearch&page=gSearch&globalSearchCriteria=jane+austen
OR --- AustenOnly [a blog site, true, but I don't see where they sell anything as the book images seem to link to book reviews on the same blog or goods link to other sites]. - "Jane Austen’s Memorials in Winchester Cathedral" - http://austenonly.com/2012/07/18/jane-austens-memorials-in-winchester-cathedral/
