The free index gives only a name, date of burial and date of death, with nothing to indicate the age or marital status of the deceased, and so diffult to identify an entry as the one you seek (unless you already know the death date). I tested it out with one of my Angus surnames, and of 18 "hits", only one was easily identified in my 10,000+ name family database. It could be expensive to find a specific individual from the index data. Gordon.

I had a look and the free search gave me a few burial dates but only because I knew the date they died. Often it threw up too many possibilities to make it worth while buying the information. It would cost a small fortune. Also accuracy is a concern. One relative had the information that he was buried Angus 1900 and his date of death was 1920, one can only assume that his burial was a little premature.
