IGI and Familysearch  Here is the searchable LDS website

IGI Batch Numbers-British Isles
Manually typing the batch numbers into the IGI search screen can be tedious. Hugh Wallis  has made an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers and created a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. A very powerful feature included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at the Family Search site, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing.
Hugh Wallis's site is on  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page
