For the purposes of registering Births and Deaths, Yorkshire was divided into a number of Registrar's Sub-Districts within each riding, East, North, West, which could cover anything from part of a large town, up to a group of several dozen rural parishes. The boundaries of these areas have changed frequently over the years since 1837, and as a result many birth and death records have been transferred between different register offices. Click on the name of the Sub-District to see a list of the places it covered.
