Hi Sue, I have a lot of information on the Genuki Yorkshire site that you will find helpful. If you look under "Maps" on the main Yorkshire page for instance, you will find maps showing parishes for each of the Ridings and a map showing nearly everywhere in Yorkshire, but also using colour coded dots to show you which parish any given place is in. There is also a piece of software called Parloc around, however be careful using this or you may get very confused. Despite its claiming to use only the ecclesiastical parishes, it does in fact contain a considerable number of civil parishes and may therefore have you looking in the wrong place for registers. Best wishes, Colin Hinson In the village of Blunham in Bedfordshire U.K. Webmaster for the Genuki Yorkshire pages: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ Old and Rare Yorkshire Books on searchable CDroms: http://www.YorkshireCDbooks.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >May I send a big thank you to everyone who has so kindly helped me >and paved the way for me. > >I?have learnt?3 new things > >One) I am rubbish at Geography, or as Jean put it "geographically challenged". > >Two) I never knew that you could gain so much more information from >a census page just by clicking on the ED Number as Jenny explained. > >Three) There are so many knowledgeable people out there who are more >than pleased to pass this knowledge on. > >Again a big thank you to you all > >Kind Regards > >Sue?
