Specific referencing style for masters dissertation - urgent

Hi, I am writing my dissertation and we have a specific way we need to do our referencing and I cannot find one that would fit the criteria in the style library. Would someone be able to get make a code or find a style that would make the referencing like these?

IN-TEXT CITATION:
Oldest first, et al. in Italics
e.g. (Hogue 2001; Sambrook and Russell 2001; Musk 2006; Hisakata et al. 2016)

Author (Date in parenthesis) Title in Italics, Place of publication: Publisher.
e.g.: Ward, P.M. (1986) Welfare Politics in Mexico, London: Allen and Unwin.

EDITED BOOK
Author (ed. or eds) (Date in parenthesis) Title in Italics, Place of publication: Publisher.
e.g. Ward, P.M. (ed.) (1982) Self-Help Housing: A Critique, London: Mansell.

CHAPTER IN AN EDITED BOOK:
Author (Date) ‘Chapter title in inverted commas’, in Editor (ed.) Title in Italics, Place of publication: Publisher, page numbers of that chapter.

Thank you for your time and help.
  • Those sample citations look like I have seen them before, so potentially we have that style (or something very similar).
    For what uni is this?

    Here's the tool to identify close matching styles.
  • It is for UCL. The style library has two UCL referencing styles, I think. Neither one of them match my department's criteria.

    I have used the tool before, but unfortunately, it did not give good matches.
  • Then you're not using the tool correctly. You'll find something with 93% match easily.
    That style is VERY common and will only have minor differences.
