MARRIAGES

Marriages

The IGI provided the date on which banns were called, the parish and the names of the two partners.     In some cases, banns were called in more than one parish, presumably because the couple came from different parishes.     In this case, the banns were sometimes called on the same day in both parishes and sometimes at different dates.

In England, the Registry indexes from 1837 showed the name of the person getting married, the quarter and year and the registration district.    From 1912, the records also show the surname of the person to whom they were getting married, thus enabling the cross-reference to that person’s full name. 

In Scotland, the Registry indexes from 1855 showed the name of the person marrying, the year and the registration district.    From 1930, they also show the surname of the person to whom they were getting married.

From 1837, I have added the names of the spouse, and the father and the mother of the person marrying, where I knew that information. 

Please note that there were no recorded female marriages in England prior to 1837.
