UK, England, Middlesex—Parish Registers, 1539–1988 [Part A] [MSNX-FMB]
Am I missing something here? I have begun reviewing these records. After going over all instructions (field help and project) it states to not assume sex of the person based on name. Only index sex IF key words are used like mother, wife, father, son etc.
I am noticing on these last few records I have reviewed that the indexer is putting in sex of each person. I am NOT seeing any key words indicating the sex of these people. Obviously, we can assume their sex but we SHOULD NOT index it based on their names since the directions say not to.
My concern is I may be missing something indicating their sex. I do not want to make mistakes and since this is a new project for me I just want to confirm I am not missing any indicators to show sex of each individual. Thanks.

No, you are doing a fine job! There is no indication of gender on your shared batch and you are also correct to delete the death date when none is on the image. I've been there many times when you see so many errors you have to review the project instructions and field helps and then ask a friend if you are missing something!
