Hi Virginia, If you look at the entries you have found for the Marske registers, transcripts, etc. you will see that for each is given a location, e.g. NYRO, or WYAS. On the same page there is also a recommendation to read the main page for the "Yorkshire Parish Register" info, with a link to same. There you will find a section on abbreviations, which explains NYRO, WYAS, etc., and also a section for Archives which gives the contact addresses for same. I hope that helps.
