Yes.. Ancestry created their ‘England Select…’ series from FS I believe. I don’t use them unless I’m really stuck because there are no images and often not even a place! Notoriously unreliable because many were mistranscribed in the first place.
But being able to browse the original transcripts on FS is very useful.
It’s clear from bits of information I’ve gleaned from people who have the Fothergill History that the parish records have some gaps. Plus, the branches spread rapidly .. Yorkshire, London, USA .. everywhere.. so I think I need to see those books .. I’ve done as much a I can with PRs I think.
