Northern Leics Reg Districts Marriage Indexes + Marriage finder.. CD 147

Description

This dataset contains the marriage indexes for 1912-1920 and Marriage Church Finder 1921-1946 for the northern Leicestershire registration districts

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 111 which covered Leicester City Registration District, and covers the Northern Leicestershire County Registration Districts; namely Ashby de la Zouch, Barrow upon Soar, Loughborough, Market Bosworth and Melton Mowbray. It 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 other sources and so dates of marriages for these are not available. Each Registration District is covered separately. This list is also shown in date and alphabetical surname order for each Registration District.

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.

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 Leicestershire Registration Districts marriages (volume 7a) in the districts as listed below. It covers the period from the March quarter 1921 up to the June quarter 1946 when the Districts 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 Leicestershire District Register Offices 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 268 churches
