Just a quick note that might be of interest to those people with ancestors in the old West Riding of Yorkshire. Ancestry have just put a few million Parish Records up.
The whole set-up works a bit like the Lancashire Old Parish Clerk website - except Ancestry will charge for the privilege of downloading. Take care though because like the OPC, the records are incomplete and you need to check before you buy (for example, Saddleworth doesn't get a mention at all).
On the other hand, within 10 minutes I found the date of a marriage in 1649 that I've been hunting for several years.
