There's some guidance at the National Archives here which may also be of help depending on what dates you are after and if you want other places in the UK.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
