Unless the bride or groom has been widowed, the parents names will also be given. Otherwise, the name of the previous spouse is noted instead. The parish of the parents' marriage is included in the indexed entry if it is different to that of the child. If either parent is deceased, this is indicated. An abbreviation list is given at the beginning of each reel in addition to a list of all the parishes covered by the index.
Arrangement is by province and town.
Diocese of Halifax - Microfilm listing coming soon This group of records comprises parish registers from the churches in the Roman Catholic diocese of Halifax. It should be noted that some registers cover a restricted time period. Many of the registers list only baptisms, some only marriages or deaths. Baptisms sometimes show later marginal notes recording the marriage of that individual. The records also preserve registers of special groups, for example orphanages and a black congregation.
