Can't see any on FMP

You must remember that comparatively few Parish records have actually been transcribed - especially the more recent ones.

Let us have some specifics - to make seaching easier

There are plenty of Pyrah's on Findmypast from Bradford but most of them are from the 1700's and 1800's.

As Erika has already said there are comparatively few parish records on line from the 1900's.

Have you tried this site??

it's FREE!!!

https://www.freereg.org.uk

I looked for Pyrah 1700 ->1950

265 records came up, 1704 -> 1912


I presume you also know about this site ...... also FREE

Not parish records, bmds

https://www.freereg.org.uk



NOTE:- GR is NOT the best site to access records, and it is expensive.
