About the work

A closer look.

One gap in one English parish burial register, before 1837, read properly and written up. You tell me the parish and the years that are missing or thin. I check the bishop's transcripts, run a control against neighbouring parishes of similar size, and work the survival-versus-keeping question and the hands in the book. You get a short written report: the gap named by dates, what I checked, the likely cause, and the sources I used. If an innocent cause explains it, that is the answer I give you. I do not invent a hidden death. Start free: a five-check guide for anyone with a gap, at https://telegra.ph/A-gap-in-a-pre-1837-English-burial-register-what-to-check-first-10-09 . Buy this only if the five checks leave your gap unexplained.
