You could have signed up for three levels from the UK

Essentials = GRO index/images , all census plus various other things

Premium = as above plus any Parish Register & Probate material and all other
Eng/Wales material

Worldwide = above plus other Countries, Canada, Australia & USA etc

If when signed in you go to "My Account" you should find a tab "Can't
decide". click that and it gives details of whats covered by each level

I don't know another site that has more than Ancestry does, it may not have
exactly what you specifically want but I suspect the same is true for anyone
using any site

There are millions of Parish register entries for Yorkshire, perhaps not the
Parishes or the years you want but there all the same

As well as Pallots the BVRI2 etc etc

Have you tried the card index to see what is covered for the Parishes you
are interested in or Yorkshire in general ?

You may like to check out the Parish maps here
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Maps/ParishMaps.html

Yorkshire being the largest English County there are one or two Parishes <g>

No one site could possibly hope to have all of the surviving Parish records
listed

Perhaps you would find what you are looking for in the LDS catalogue and
order the films in, despite rumours not all Parish register material is
available online
