Does anyone know if you were always able to be married at a registry office. I have a cert dated 1853 where a marriage took place at B/ham registry office . I was surprised it took place there at that date. Sue |

I have quite a few very early Registry Office weddings in my family, because they were all raging Non-conformists, and the Churches or Chapels they attended were not licenced for marriages. So, rather than undertake a 'hypocritical' marriage in the C of E, they opted for RO weddings. Olde Crone |

I've got a register office marriage in 1852. The bride gave birth less than 3 weeks later. My widowed gt grandpa married his 2nd wife in a register office and my husband has great grandparents who married at the Strand Register Office in London, I think because the groom was C of E and the bride Jewish. Of course, before civil registration in 1837, there was no civil ceremony, so people had to marry at a place of worship regardless of their personal beliefs. nell |
