Please note, I have photographed  readable head stones in the area in many of the church yds.
Searching through the lists of the below web site i see there are many many names missing.
There fore if your search does not appear then it's not to say it's not there...

a valuble resource never the less.

Yes, I agree Blue Spirit, just looking at Great Yarmouth, a massive town Church-yard with less memorials than Middleton, a village Church-yard.
This is a fantastic resource, but, online indexes should always be used with EXTREME caution.
