Missing registers
Hunting through the Hampshire records on Ancestry, there are heaps of my people missing from the record.
Looking at Bursledon, for example, there is a gap 1717-1792. According to the Hampshire Archives website, the records are continuous 1657-1992: https://calm.hants.gov.uk/Record.asp...id=83130&pos=9 I used to be surrounded with books. These days I google for answers. Does anyone know if records exist for the gap?

The registers for Bramshaw are also in a dire state and it's only by browsing that I have been able to find entries. Record keeping seems to have been very hit and miss with just one burial for 1754. I know my ancestor died in that year as he wrote his will in July and it was proved in December, but there is no entry for him.

The Bursledon burials for that period are indexed on FMP but the baptisms only from the last few years of that gap, and the only pre-1754 marriages which come up on FMP are marriage licences.

More by luck than judgement, I have found my NIPR volume for Hampshire, which does not indicate major gaps in Bursledon.
But I agree,Elizabeth, that record keeping was pretty poor. The simple answer in this case, is that the records (abysmal quality) are under Hound and Hamble.
