They will have books from the start of registration, 1837.

However some districts have merged or boundaries changed, so actual records might be at a different location within that area.

I would have thought they had all the marriages in their area as thats where you can go to order them direct. I have orderd one's from 1908 and got those, if that of any help.... Or phone them they will tell you when there rcords start from.
