It's a burial for ? Wood about 9 lines down on the left-hand page.

I'm trying to kill of Sarah Wood, maiden name Gawthorpe, but I don't think this is her!

That document would be quite difficult to read without Lincs to the Past stamped all over it!

That's the problem, Sabrina!

It's amazing how well I have actually done with the PRs. Some of them are terribly difficult to read, but there are some lovely ones with beautiful handwriting. The biggest problem is when the handwriting is faded.

About two thirds down the right hand page -

From March the 25th 1742 to March the 25th 1743

Buryals
October the 1?th Mrs Wood wife of John Wood


I can't make out the date properly. Her husband died in 1749. I have his will and he didn't mention her, so I figured she had died before him.

Think it's the 14th, but it is difficult to read.

Thanks, Phoenix. I was toying between a 4, a 7 or a 9!
