The value of the image and browsing
I've spent a happy hour (or so!) attaching Sussex images to Best Mate's tree.
Doing so, I discovered on one line I had the husband 30 years older than the wife (possible, but unlikely)
The wife was buried in 1837 - but when I checked this image, this was actually the burial of her daughter.
As I definitely had not found the family in 1841 (and I rechecked - none are in the village) I browsed the burials.
And there it is: a five year gap from 22 Dec 1829 - Feb 1835, when it looks as if the parish merely had an officiating minister. I suspect three or four family burials fell into this black hole.
If we merely use indexes, we miss potential solutions to our problems.
