Does anyone know a good genealogy website for Yorkshire, or if there are any baptism records online? (Have tried the IGI). Im interested in the Knottingley area. I have an Eleanor Ramsdale born 1766 and can find nothing about her apart from marriage, kids and 1841 census.

there will no doubt be a Family History Society for the area - google and find out and they will likely have parish records in book or CD form

That Eleanor is no doubt some later relation to my Eleanor, thanks Ann. Im sure the Ramsdale's from that area are linked, including the ones you've given me. Hopefully one day I can find my Eleanor's parents and work backwards and outwards.

Hi,

I think Knottingly would come under either Wakefield or Pontefract. Some of their records can be found here

www.wakefield.gov.uk/CultureAndLeisure/HistoricWakefield/Investigate/FamilyHistory/WebResources/default.htm

Good luck,
Caz
