the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

The North Riding of Yorkshire was one of the three historic ridings or subdivisions of the English county of Yorkshire. The other two were called the West Riding of Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The word riding evolved from the Old Norse word "third". From the Restoration in 1660 the ridings were used as "Lieutenancy" areas for ceremonial occasions. Each of the three ridings had separate Quarter Sessions and, in many other ways, acted independently of each other.

In 1889, under the Local Government Act of the previous year, an administrative county, complete with a county council was created for the North Riding. The boundaries of the administrative county followed those of the historic county.

In 1974 both the administrative county and the Lieutenancy of the North Riding of Yorkshire were abolished, being succeeded in most of the Riding by the new non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire. North Yorkshire acquired an area previously in the the West Riding. The Craven District, the Harrogate District and the Selby District of North Yorkshire were located in the West Riding before 1974.

County and Municipal Boroughs

Middlesbrough was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1853 and formed a county borough, exempt from county council control, from 1889.

Richmond and Scarborough were incorporated as municipal boroughs in 1835, with Thornaby on Tees added in 1892 and Redcar in 1932.

The remainder of the North Riding was divided into into urban districts and rural districts under the Local Government Act 1894.

In 1968 a new county borough of Teesside was created from

the former county borough of Middlesbrough
the borough of Redcar
the borough of Thornaby on Tees
Eston Urban District
part of Stokesley Rural District
and parts of County Durham located immediately north of the River Tees.

The entirety of the new county borough was associated with the North Riding for lieutenancy and other purposes. The establishment of Teesside was the initiation of the process of changing the North Riding of Yorkshire into North Yorkshire which occurred in 1974.

Research tips

Original historical documents relating to the North Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire are held at the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Malpas Road, Northallerton, North Yorkshire DL7 8TB
Family history societies covering the area include the Ryedale Family History Group, the Family History Section of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society (based in the City of York), and the Cleveland, North Yorkshire & South Durham Family History Society (for the Cleveland and Teesside area and the western part of North Yorkshire, commonly known as the "Yorkshire Downs"). A more complete list may be found under the Federation of Family History Societies.
A History of the County of Yorkshire from British History Online (Victoria County Histories), published 1914 and 1923 (Volume 1: the western part of the North Riding including Richmond and Volume 2: the eastern part of the North Riding including Scarborough and Whitby). A History of the County of York: the City of York is also helpful for the many North Riding parishes that were absorbed into the city during the 19th and 20th centuries.

This is by far the most complete history of the parishes of the North Riding to be found online. The volumes are divided into sections by wapentake (early divisions of the county) and the parishes within each wapentake follow in alphabetical order. The links above open to the indexes covering all the wapentakes in the volume.

GENUKI has a page on all three ridings of Yorkshire and pages for each of the ancient or ecclesiastical parishes in the county. Under each ancient parish there is a list of the settlements (townships and chapelries) within it and brief description of each. Many of these secondary settlements became civil parishes during the latter half of the 19th century.

These notes are based on a gazetteer dated 1835 and there may have been a number of alterations to the parish setup since then. However, it is worthwhile information for the pre civil registration era. GENUKI provides references to other organizations who hold genealogical information for the local area. There is no guarantee that the website has been kept up to date and the submitter is very firm about his copyright, but this should not stop anyone from reading the material.

The FamilyTree Wiki has a series of pages similar to those provided by GENUKI which may have been prepared at a later date. The wiki has a link to English Jurisdictions 1851 which gives the registration district and wapentake for each parish, together with statistics from the 1851 census for the area.
A Vision of Britain through Time, Yorkshire North Riding, section "Units and Statistics" leads to analyses of population and organization of the county from about 1800 through 1974. There are pages available for all civil parishes, municipal boroughs and other administrative divisions which also include historical population and area statistics. Descriptions provided are usually based on a gazetteer of 1870-72.

Another provider of maps is the National Library of Scotland. In this index the Scottish provision precedes the English one, but the choice of maps for England is still quite vast.
Yorkshire has a large number of family history and genealogical societies. A list of the societies will be found on the Yorkshire, England page.
In March 2018 Ancestry announced that its file entitled "Yorkshire, England: Church of England Parish Records, 1538-1873" has been expanded to include another 94 parishes (across the three ridings) and expected it to be expanded further during the year. The entries are taken from previously printed parish registers.
