YorkshireBMD only covers certain areas at the moment - generally Leeds and Hull. Have you tried FreeBMD? Ancestry is also allowing free image searches on the BMD register from 1837-2004. You don't have to be a subscriber, but it's not indexed. (PS - what's the surname?)

What is the surname perhaps another pair of eyes might find them. On ancestry did you try the 1837 list (Beta) http://www(.)ancestry(.)co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd(.)aspx Remove brakets Also did you try the fre BMD site. Germaine x Snap Tracy

I believe that the extracted records in the IGI only go up to 1875, so batch filtering is not an option.
