I am trying to establish dates for Allied bombing raids on Berlin for 1942.

In one Wikipedia reference, it states a British raid on Berlin was carried out in the July. But another source, a list of all raids on Berlin that year, shows no raids were made in July. Yet another source states there were very few raids on Berlin in 1942 and all were of no significance in terms of damage done.

Anyone know what the true facts are for British raids on Berlin 1942?

You could check the Allied Berlin war cemetery by date of death.
