Marriage Indices
- Boyd’s Marriage Index contains entries for marriages in many parts of the country between 1538 and 1837, taken from parish registers which have been printed or copied. It is arranged by county, in 25 year periods. Within each 25 year period names, sometimes of men and women together, sometimes separately, and sometimes men only, are listed alphabetically, with the partner’s name, the parish where the marriage took place, and the year.
- The original is at the Society of Genealogists, Charterhouse Square, London, EC1M 7BA. Copies of the Yorkshire section, indexed under the man’s name only, are at York Public Library, Museum Street, York, YO1 2DS and the Mormon Family History Centres at Huddersfield and Leeds.
