Thanks Graham. I'll check out the link to compare coverage. Do you know if there is any additional info for each entry? The NBI is basic: Name of Deceased, Date of Burial, Place of Burial, Age at Death. Does the SBI have anything more?

Heather, If you look at the link I quoted and then go to the link near the bottom showing a screenshot, you will see the fields that may be filled in if the information was on the original register, but usually you will just get a few filled (if that makes sense) because that is all that was on the original registers.

Thanks, Graham - it was on the previous page but I found it. That answers my question brilliantly.
