Leicester Borough Marriage Index 1912-1920.. CD 111

Description

Index of marriages for the Leicester Borough registration District 1912-1920 plus the marriage church finder 1921-1946.

Marriage Index

The General Register Office (GRO) record marriages by year and quarter, with each quarter listed in parish order with Register Office and Non-Conformists marriages listed after them. This CD is a continuation from CD 93 and lists marriages for Anglican and Non-Conformist churches from 1912 to 1920 in the same format with spouses and dates. Some of the Non-Conformists indexes had to be ‘reconstructed’ from Registrars’ Indexes and so dates of marriages for these are not available. There are over 25,800 names listed with marriage venues in the first part between 1912 and 1920.

Some entries have comments attached to them. These are marked with a red triangle at the top right corner of the box. To read the entry, move the mouse pointer over the box itself.

Marriage Church Finder

The Marriage Church Finder is an alternative index for finding marriage venues after 1920. Data Protection laws make it difficult to list names in indexes after this date but where a marriage took place can usually be found if the GRO volume and page reference for the marriage is known. This Church Finder is for Leicester Registration District (volume 7a) marriages in the GRO Indexes and covers the period from the March quarter 1921 up to the June quarter 1946 when the District changed volume number to 3a. It covers every quarter between these dates and lists the start and finish page numbers for each Anglican Church in the District and also the Non-Conformist Churches which had their own marriage registers. The only page numbers not listed are for marriages at the Leicester Register Office or ones at churches attended by the Registrar (and so will be in the Registrars’ book). These would be small churches that did not have authority to register their own marriages and the services had to have the Registrar present. In the Church Finder there are a total of 97 churches included.
