In general, you can't expect to find a record of every burial in the 18th century, although some church books are better than others. If you compare the number of baptisms versus the number of burials in the same church books, they should roughly match each other. But I've seen church books where burials aren't recorded at all, and others where the baptism/burial ratio is about 3 to 1. There are all kinds. And the burials of small kids appear to be under-reported all over.
