This is the first thing I tried. The snag is that the Type 
Surname History doesn't appear in the drop-down list of 
types available in the Filter Gramplet, though it's present 
in the unfiltered list. Writing "Surname History" into the 
Type field doesn't work.

I seem to remember this sort of problem has turned up 
before: a user-defined type present in the system and not 
retrievable by filters - but I don't recall where it cropped up.
