As with all of these databases use them with care and a bit of thought.

I was in the Cornelian Bay Cemetery a few weeks ago finding a few family
tombs. Went to the office to get some directions and was given a printout
from the database. I recorded all the details on the headstones, which
agreed with the records and other information I already had. However, when
I checked the printed listing rigorously later, there were a few details
incorrect and even some individuals missing!!

And go and check the tombs - other names may have been added (in memoriam),
even though there was no burial.

And, of course, the married women are recorded under their married name at
death, with no reference to their maiden name!
