Registers of Marriages Solemnized in the Parish of Coleby, 1754–1838

Notes

Beginning in 1754, banns of marriage and marriages by banns or licences were recorded in register books containing preprinted forms. This index contains all marriages at the parish church of Coleby from 1754 until about the start of civil registration in 1837. Banns of marriage are only included when no corresponding marriage was recorded. Beginning in 1813, marriages were recorded in a new register which had forms that no longer contained the descriptions of the banns of marriage.

The first marriage in the third volume was recorded in the following form (hand-written portion is italicized):

№. 1 Banns of Marriage between William Barnaby of Stainton & Mary Tindal of this Parish were publish'd on the 8^th the 15 & the 22^d Days of Sept. 1754 by Me W^m Johnson Curate. The said William Barnaby of the Parish of Stainton and the said Mary Tindal of this Parish __ were Married in this Church by Banns this Twenty Third Day of September in the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Four by me William Johnson Curate[.] This Marriage was solemnized between Us { William Barnaby [&] Mary Tindal In the Presence of John Wright [&] John Tindal[.]

In the table, surnames have been placed in separate columns to allow users to sort by only the surname; they may be regularized to allow better sorting results. The form of the name in actual signatures is preferred, but significant variants in the record may appear in parentheses. When an individual made his mark, it is indicated by a plus sign (+). Parish and other place names may appear in a corrected form. Counties are abbreviated, and Lincolnshire is omitted. The records are by default ordered by date of marriage, and the dates are presented in a sortable format. The Family page of the couple being married may be linked if the page has been created.

References are abbreviated as follows:
