What information am I looking at?

I tried looking at the pages before and after to see if there was any explaination but no luck. Also, no help w/ the indexing directions.

How do I know what information is what?

I have checked it out and there is nothing to help indicate what these records are. I also can't view previous images and later images since it's in a shared batch. If you do not get an answer soon you can always return the batch.

Some are marriages. Like the one for William Elliott 27/4/1665; 8/10/1735; 17/6/1751 are three different William Elliott's who got married. So there would be three records created. (I only know because I did a records search on familysearch). Could there be others on this sheet that aren't marriages, maybe...

If you don't feel comfortable indexing these without being certain, you should click on batch and Return Batch.

That's a great idea - I'll try and search a few more of the names and if they are marriages as well I'll move forward with indexing them as such. Thanks everyone!

@nwilson Like Melissa, I checked a few names and I found some matching dates and names indexed as baptisms, marriages and deaths all on the exact same date -- since its not possible to be born, married and died all on the same day, I decided these are mixed records with no method to determine which is correct so I returned the batch. I probably should have marked it NNED no extractable data, but then none of us volunteers know who is looking at NNED or how much that person knows about researching genealogy or family history (no offense is meant--- we all are learning as we go, especially me 😎) I did find something especially helpful though at https://www.archives.norfolk.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/family-history/parishes-and-churches/parish-registers/information-given-in-parish-registers.
