Marriage transcripts

Our collections have been painstakingly transcribed from the original Church records and may include details such as the bride and groom’s names, ages, birthplaces, residences, occupations, date and location of the marriage, names of witnesses, condition (bachelor, spinster, widow, or widower), parents’ names, parents’ occupations, and the name of the officiant.
