This file contains the marriage information for one decade. It is not an
exact transcript of the register but it includes all the information that the
registers contain. Anything that cannot be included in the standard form
is listed in notes.
The information contained within the registers changed over time. On occasions
they listed the residence of both bride and groom, but often the word
"Sojourner" was used to show that the person came from a different parish.
Sometimes the marital status is listed "bachelor", "widow", etc.; on other
occasions the occupation is listed. If the couple were married by Licence,
this is noted. On some occasions the register entry only relates to a
"Certificate of Banns"; in most such cases one of the parties is shown as
coming from another parish and it is likely that the marriage itself took
place there.
In some cases the bride and the groom signed the register, but many clearly
could not do so and made their mark instead; this is noted. In many cases the
witnesses also signed the register; their names are listed and they are also
included in the index. There is usually no indication of what the relationship
is between the witness and the couple; it is only evidence that someone of that
name was alive at that time.
