Search Crisp's London Marriage Licences Index

An index to some original marriage licences from over a dozen major London parishes. All are abstracted and in many cases the original licences are held. There are almost 10,000 entries for a relatively short period between the mid 1700s and the commencement of General Registration in 1837. Valuable information regarding places of origin and family members can be obtained. This can be vital information given the difficulties inherent in researching London families in the years before Census and General Registration. Searchable by either bride or groom and divided into before or after 1800.
