John, I would also suggest if you are looking at specific parishes that you check out DustyDocs, at www.dustydocs.com, as this site lists all parishes in England and identifies where to find the records on commercial sites, familysearch, or local websites. It indicates the time periods covered and potentially identifies additional resources for that parish. An excellent free site.
