The earlier Edition of Berkshire Marriages brought transcriptions of over 346,000 names of grooms, brides, fathers and witnesses from over 117,000 marriages recorded in registers and Bishops’ Transcripts of Berkshire parishes. Work is continuing until all available Berkshire Marriages have been accurately transcribed (Berkshire Family History Society has identified that some earlier third-party indexes to Berkshire marriages do contain significant levels of errors and omissions.)
Effort has focussed mainly, but not exclusively, on the years before civil registration began in England and Wales in 1837, and on Church of England parishes across the pre-1974 Royal County of Berkshire. A number of North Berkshire and Vale of the White Horse parishes are included but those absorbed from Buckinghamshire post-1974 are not yet present. Full details of parishes and periods covered can be found below.
- Berkshire Record Office (Reading) holds original parish registers for the pre-1974 county of Berkshire (including the Vale of the White Horse).
- Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre (Chippenham) holds surviving early Bishops’ Transcripts for Berkshire (to 1835).
A purchase of the Berkshire Marriages Second Edition CD entitles the owner to a substantial discount on the full price of the next Edition - (conditions apply).
You will find a list of parishes included, with dates, on subsequent pages.
