I would appreciate church records for baptisms, marriages and burials in the Bradford Yorkshire area – mainly from the Parish Church recoreds if this is possible.

Hi Patricia
Saw your request on the Find my past website, Can I suggest that you have a look at the above Bradford Family History Society website as they have a number of publication that should cover your needs. They seem to cover burials. Also try the folowing site, http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/, it covers quite a large amount of data from 1837 onwards and should be growing. Free BMD using webhttp://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.plsite is also brilliant if you have a name and date for BMD and the new https://www.familysearch.org/ site is good.
Sorry iof you know this but can’t tell from this message the state of your knowledge. If I can help as an ex Bradfordian please contact me.

I would also appreciate more church/parish records for the Bradford Yorkshire area in particular the 17oo’s
I also await the Skipton area records with great anticipation. Thanks.
very hopeful of Skipton parish records being available asap!
I await information from the Skipton Registration District with great interest!
I would be interested in the Ripon registers
Yorkshire is a huge county! I would like to see parishes within a 30-40 mile radius of the City of York, as searching at record offices is difficult since parish records are held at different repositories – some at Northallerton RO, some at York University.
I have found it very difficult to get records about Haworth nr Keighley,West Riding.Cannot find any on all the sites I visit.
Best Regards Bob Riley
I should like parish records for North Yorkshire (Pickering area) for the 18th & early 19th century.
I would really like parish records (1750-1837)for Dewsbury & Batley areas. Frustrated that some of the CD-ROMs I’ve bought of Yorkshire don’t include these areas.
In anticipation
Tim

It would be great to have parish records for the greater Leeds area and Bradford, Batley and Birstal.

Anyone Researching Thursby, Please contact me
Surely Thursbt is in Cumbria between Carlisle and Wigton and not Yorkshire.
I know because I used to live there!
I am currently attempting to trace the records of family in the Craven area near to the border of Lancashire, so Parish records for Skipton and the surrounding villages, would be particularily helpful.
