Matrimonial Court Minutes and Special Marriage Licenses: 1821-1884 Transcribed by Ellen Stanton

This is a partial transcription of a film from the Family History Center, entitled "Matrimonial Court Minutes and Special Marriage Licenses: 1821 - 1884. I went through the entire film, but I omitted most of the Dutch names and the natives as I assume that most of the people on this list are looking for British and UK names. Many of these entries were difficult to read, being entirely hand-written. Where I wasn't sure, I have put a question mark after the name. Where no age was given for the parties, I wrote Full if they were of legal age, and Minor, if below it. If there was no information given concerning their age, I simply left it blank. Please note that judging by the language on these documents, the dates given were not the actual wedding dates. The parties could not get married until the banns had been posted. As usual, dates follow American convention of MMDDYY

Entry #150
