George Nelson (b1806 in Sheriff Hutton)

The IGI is the International Genealogical Index compiled by the Mormons. Family Search is where you find the IGI online which is a limited index of a large number of parish registers but by no means all.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

However I use Hugh Wallis' website because it allows you to just search individual parish registers indexed on the IGI and it also gives you the dates of coverage for the registers on the IGI.

Ripon parish registers will be deposited in the local county record office.

which I think in this case is North Yorkshire
