I was at a family history fair recently when someone suggested it was possible to get a line which parish a couple had married in from the info available on free BMD. They tried to explain the process, but the notes I made at the time don't now make sense when I go onto free BMD. Can anyone out there fill me in on how this works - assuming it actually does? |

Thanks Chris, this may help, although it isn't what the person I spoke to referred to. I will have to give it a go & see if the areas I am interested in are covered. |

Many thanks, this is just the explanation I was seeking and makes perfect sense. |

The last "parish" is usually the registrar's own register, containing rego office marrs and non-conformist marrs that the registrar had to attend as nearly all non-conformists were not authorized pre-1899 to maintain an official register (RCs not authorized until the 1980s I think). |
