 File — Reel: 906311

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Documents returned as proof of marriage include various types of marriage records (licenses, receipts for licenses, certificates) or handwritten statements returned by ministers or other celebrants of marriages to the justice of the peace who issued the license. Information included in these records varies according to the type of record returned. Some certificates used by churches or ministers contain more information than the certificates used by the justices of the peace (e.g., name and address of the church or other location where the marriage took place); license receipts sometimes include a form on the verso which records the birthplaces of the bride and groom and their parents' names.
