Redroger,

Are you talking about the Yorkshire Parish Register societies books?  If not then the only place I know you can get copies of the PR transcriptions is at the archives.  These are in black folders and are typewritten transcripts which the manpower services commission carried out in the 80's.

No Rob; From memory and it is some years since I last saw or used them, the transcriptions were done many years ago and bound into blue books by parish. I believe they were actually made by or for the former Doncaster Rural District Council, which ceased to exist in 1974.

Redroger,

Have never seen them but will ask when I am in there next time however I do wonder if you are on about the bound transcripts the archives have which were done in the early 80's by the manpower commission

That is possible as I started research in the late 1990s, however as I am a former Councillor from the RDC area I took special note, and am usually fairly accurate with my memories.
