Yorkshire Parish Registers Series

The Yorkshire Parish Register Society was founded in 1899 and became a publishing section of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in 1960. By 2014,180 volumes of transcriptions of Yorkshire Parish Registers had been published, at which point production of new volumes ceased. All volumes are available in downloadable formats. Printed copies are now very rare. If you wish to purchase a copy of one of the registers in CD format please contact office@yahs.org.uk. Almost all the volumes contain indexes to surnames, Christian names, places and occupations. From the 1950s, volumes have also included extra material to be found in the Bishop's Transcripts, especially useful where parts of the original registers are deficient.

Downloads are £5.

CDs are £7.50.

Please note:

Almost all original parish registers for Yorkshire are held in either a County Record or Archives Office. There are at least 15 offices holding original registers and several holding Bishop's Transcripts.To locate the whereabouts of these registers and BTs, and for further information about the places concerned, we recommend that you should consult the Yorkshire section of GENUKI.
