    3. The algorithm that works out the page range has various limits that are designed to ensure that there is a reasonable degree of confidence in the page range produced. One of these is that there is not a gap of greater than 1 page number in the sequence. In Dec 1884 Deaths for Marylebone,1a there is a gap between page numbers 374 and 377, i.e. two page numbers missing. This limit was particularly aimed at situations at either end of the range and where there were relatively few page numbers to work with. We will ease the limit so that it does not exclude the cases with good populations of pages.

I've just been comparing the 1884 Dec Deaths district page range given on the FreeBMD website with my approximate observed values from roughly 12,000 entries. I found that the districts listed below were missing. I was even more surprised to find that districts with numerous entries such as Marylebone, Bristol, Ecclesall B. and York were omitted whilst ones with very few entries such as Stratton and Camelford were listed. The previous 1884 quarters didn't seem to suffer from the omissions.
