freebmd will only give the quarter and registration district, which may not help much (unless you buy certificates from the GRO)

freereg is an excellent resource, although the coverage varies - last time I searched for Northants ancestors they weren't online yet.

freecen is increasing its records (I don't know how far they are with Northants)

familysearch is free and has many indexes, and parish register images for several counties (but no images for Northants yet!)

Hope this helps
Philip

As these families seem to be from Moulton most of the records are on Anc****
under the Northamptonshire Parish Records collections.

Your profile does not mention where in the world you are located so it is difficult to suggest local options to you.  If you are in the UK some county library services offer both Ancestry & FindMyPast free of charge in the library.  Many also offer searching of old newspapers and The Times from home using your library card number.

Freebmd is easy to search if you know where the family are living. Seahall mentions most are from Moulton, Northamptonshire the registration district for the period you are after is Brixworth
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/brixworth.html

Using freebmd with start and end years and registration district Brixworth surname York no first name you can do a blanket search of births/marriages or deaths. Fortunately it is not that common a surname.

If you are searching births before 1911 or deaths before mid 1860's you can the use the GRO index to check ages on death and mothers maiden names on births for any you are interested in.

I have found some of the marriages on freereg. Hoping to go to the library today as I can search on ancestry and findmypast to dig out some more records.

Thanks for all the suggestions for free websites, they've been quite helpful
