Hi,
There never was and never will be grammar or dictionaries for Yorkshire dialect,
Forgive me for pointing you toward things you already know; There are a few others (A grammar of the dialect of Windhill by Joseph Wright, etc.), but Folklore and Customs of the North Riding of Yorkshire by Richard Blakeborough is probably right up your street as it contains a substantial glossary. I do have a (reprint) copy that I will get round to OCRing, but i'm working my way through the 'Old Yorkshire' series first. Meanwhile there are a few copies in the Bradford system; http://www.biskit.yorks.com/ This may also be of interest: http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/dialect/ IME the dialectical variants still exist to this day.
