More than 450,000 parish records for Yorkshire, Northumberland, Durham, Wiltshire and Suffolk have just been added to FindMyPast's UK parish records collection.
I have lots of Yorkshire ancestors, and many of them moved to the county of Durham in the mid-1800s. I was therefore delighted to hear that these new records include 7,113 Ryedale baptisms, marriages and burials (1754-1999); 22,687 Sheffield baptisms (1837-1968); 8,181 Sheffield marriages (1824-1991); and 27,420 Northumberland and Durham burials (1587-2009).
These parish records are available as a result of the ongoing partnership between FindMyPast and the Federation of Family History Societies. There are millions more records to come, so watch for news from FindMyPast.

Advice about family history research in Yorkshire, England. There are also specific references to Yorkshire-born folk, some of whom emigrated to Australia. Australian records (including very informative death certificates) may give details that are not available in the UK.
