I think it was Peter that said don't hold your breath regarding a MJ online
index.
The point being it may be very basic in terms of content
I bought a copy of Tony's "Partial Index" several years ago and although not
necessariy the most gripping bed time reading I can recommend it. It is
primarily a summary of references Tony has found and he makes no claims that
it is complete as a reference source but for anyone (like me) without easy
access to the originals it is a useful tool. I always maintain there is no
point in redoing research someone else has done (other than to check and add
to it) A foot up the tree of knowledge is always helpful. As a result I
found particulars for the Lead mines in Itchington which although I knew
existed (and had visited the site) had not seen any documentary evidence
before.

David
