Usage Tips

Original data: Liverpool Registers. Liverpool, England: Liverpool Record Office.

This collection contains Church of England marriage registers from the Liverpool area of Lancashire County. Liverpool saw its first dock open in 1715, and by 1800, the city boasted five docks, a vital role in world trade, and a population of more than 75,000. The next century would see the population burgeon almost tenfold.

This database also includes marriage banns, which were notices of a couple’s intent to marry. These will include name and status (bachelor, widow, etc.) of the groom and bride, the parish, and dates when the banns were published. Some will include a note of the marriage date added later. Remember that a marriage bann does not mean that the marriage necessarily took place.
