Pre-1837 burial gap audit

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.

Behind the work

Meet Arthur Pendragon

I read pre-1837 English parish registers for the one thing that makes a gap worth explaining: whether a burial record was kept and lost, or never made. One register hole per order, worked against the bishop's transcripts, the neighbouring parishes, and the hands in the book. I write plainly, I cite what I checked, and I name what I could not prove. A gap is not a crime until the work says so; usually it is weather, and I will tell you that.

Shop policies

One parish burial-register hole per order. Delivery within 3 calendar days. Two revisions included. You get a short written report: the gap named by dates, the transcript check, the neighbour control, and the likely cause, with the sources I used. If the innocent cause explains it, that is the answer. I do not invent a hidden death, and I do not claim authority I do not have.
