As such it is 100% accurate.
The IGI has been compiled from two sources Patron submissions (entries submitted by individuals) or mass extractions.
Mass extractions may originate from Parish Registers usually starting with the letter C or P for births or christenings ; J, K or M for marriages (excluding those starting M1). As a rule of thumb those starting with numbers such as 725.. 745.. and 754.. (i.e. the third digit being 4 or higher) are extractions from transcribed indexes such as Gibson's Oxfordshire marriages.
Remember the IGI only records what was presented at the Temple Ordinance not what any other record shows.
