Marriages Before July 1837 in England And Wales

Before the onset of civil registration on the 1st July 1837 marriages were registered in the parish registers, similar to after the above date but not registered with a national system. Marriages before 1754 tend to contain less information than marriages from 1754 onwards when Hardwicke's Act required all marriages to take place in a place of worship.
