Hi Jill,
try this
Search Archive
Search by Document type
scroll down to Parish Register
click Go
Select whichever register you want and then zoom in to read it. Just had a quick look and it seems that there are more of Halifax registers than Elland but you might get lucky. There is a lot of other interesting bits and pieces on the site as well as the registers.
