The Internet Archive in its "Texts" section has many Yorkshire Parish Register Society publications available for free download.  So many that there are bound to be some WR parishes, but I've not checked.

Keywords for the site's search function: Yorkshire (England) -- Genealogy Sources.  Restrict the search to media type "Texts" for better results.

Most seem to be North Yorks, East Yorks and York itself, but there are some WR including Wakefield and Thornhill (by Dewsbury).

Very well digitised and each volume is fully searchable. You do have to look at the title page of each volume to know which parish it is.

lol its a big phew
what someone should do is go through them and post on here what they all are.

You and I had the same idea, Perth.

The Hickleton one doesn't appear to have a volume number.

I managed these before I got fed up:

Vol. 1 Aldborough 1538-1611
   "   80 Ripon 1574-1628
      90 Great Ayton 1600-1812
      24 Howden 1543-1702
      49 Darrington 1567-1812
       3 Horbury 1598-1812
       6 Patrington 1570-1731
       8 Blacktoft 1700-1812
      12 Brantingham 1653-1812
      15 Cherry Burton 1561-1740.

I hope someone else can do the rest - there's 30 in all - if not, I'll have a go later.

Sorry about the jumbled order but that's the way they come up on the site - it really isn't very easy to navigate.

There are also a few PRs from other counties - worth checking out.

Many thanks to Stovepipe for finding the site.

Many thanks for this great new resource.  What treasure trove. I can see me spending hours going through all the info, but right now it's bedtime.
