Sorry, I didn't realise that - I assumed that non-members could view but not post.
Let me know if you want me to re-post anything.
Some of the marriages and baptisms are in the new W. Yorks records on Ancestry (with images).
The main problem is that we can't find a baptism for William born c. 1831. My guess is that he was baptised in the Balk area, although for some reason he gives Scotland and "at sea" as his birthplace in later censuses.
However, there appears to be no church in Balk, and the baptisms for Thirsk, Kirby Knowle and Bagby, which are nearby, are on the IGI, but William doesn't appear (I checked all the Williams baptised in those parishes around 1831, in case he was mistranscribed, but I still didn't find him).
