If so, could you perhaps explain what kind of verification you need? If they are in the PRs, then they took place! If what you mean is more information, then I'm afraid there won't be any more than what is in the registers. Or did you get them from the IGI, in which case the registers is the obvious place to confirm them. You should be able to borrow films of the Bradford parish church registers througha Mormon FHC, if you have one anywhere near you.
