The TNA catalogue doesn't seem to make much, if any, reference to missing pages within pieces, and this is a potential problem. The individual street indexes, for those areas that have been indexed, generally indicate missing house numbers, streets etc, but I've never seen any consolidated record of these and there are then the many areas that have not been so indexed. It does seem like an exercise waiting to be undertaken. John B Leic., Eng
