England and Wales Civil Registration Marriage Indexes

The FreeBMD project is transribing the Marriage Index for England and Wales. The indexes starting in 1912 contain the spouses name making these indexes much more useful. I transcribed just the Easterbrook (and some variants) as an interim resource when FreeBMD did not cover these. As FreeBMD has overtaken my transcription I have added their records to these tables.

My transcriptions have been performed for speed rather than accuracy - you should always check the original rather than relying on the transcription, particularly for the Volume and Page references. Entries have been cross-referenced where possible to match together records relating the same family.

This page contains:

• 1912 onwards. These indexes contain the spouse's surname.
• 1852 to 1911. These indexes do not contain the spouse's surname but there are only 2 marriages per page so it can usually be determined.
• 1837 to 1851 Early records are 4 marriages to a page.

I have also transcribed Births and Deaths.

Marriages (1912 onwards)

Index entries from 1912 contain the spouses surname so that the spouse's full name can usually be determined by searching by page number.

Spouse Given Name has been found by searching the Spouse Surname in the index. The odd blank entry indicates no match was found, blocks of blank entries indicate entries not yet analysed.

The Known column indicates that I already have the marriage recorded in my database.

The Possible Children column shows names from the Birth Index with matching surnames. These may not belong to this couple, especially if there are other marriages of the same surname pair listed in the notes column.

The Notes column shows any other information I know about the entry.

Marriages (1852 to 1911)

Marriages were recorded 2 per page, so that there is usually only 2 possible spouses. The actual spouse can often be determined by cross-referencing with other records such as censuses.

The Spouse1 and Spouse2 columns contain the two possible surnames for years where upto two marriages appeared on each page. Only one is shown if:

• I have determined the correct spouse from other sources or the marriage certificate. This will be indicated by the Known and Notes columns.
• Only 2 names (one male, one female) are indexed to this page. There is a remote chance these two names do not constitute a marriage.
• The transcription is incomplete or ambiguious. The Notes column may have more information.

No spouses are shown for years that have not been analysed yet.

The Known column indicates that I already have the marriage recorded in my database.

The Notes column shows any other information I know about the entry.
