Isn't Find a grave a compilation of entries submitted by members of the public, rather than uploads of complete parish burial records - transcriptions/filmed images?? I'm not knocking the database at all, as it's a very useful resource, but just because you can't find a record on there in a specific burial ground, it doesn't necessarily mean the burial wouldn't have taken place there. I find the database a bit like MI transcriptions - again a very useful resource, but only a record of who had a gravestone erected in their memory and in that place. So, not a complete list of those buried in that graveyard/cemetery. Also, being commemorated on a gravestone doesn't always mean that the named person was buried there! (As I have discovered over the years!)
