Marriage Bonds and Allegations

Part 1 1374-1531

Part 2 1567-1630

Part 3 1630-1714

Part 4 1715-1839

 

The indices to marriage bonds and allegations are in four parts:

 

Part 1 is taken from the list of marriage licences and marriage dispensations taken from the Registers of the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Durham,and the Archdeacon of Richmond, covering the period 1374-1531, and published in Volume 45 of the Publications of the Surtees Society. 

 

Part 2 is taken from the so-called*  Paver's Marriage Licences, parts 1-17 [1567-1630], in the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, vols. 7, 9-14, 16-17 & 20, and  'A consolidated Index to Paver's Marriage Licences (1567-1630)', printed in the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal. The coverage of each volume is as follows:

 

YAJ Vol 7: 1567-1592

YAJ Vol 9: 1592-1595, 1595-1597

YAJ Vol 10: 1597-1599, 1599-1602, 1602-1604

YAJ Vol 11: 1604-1609

YAJ Vol 12: 1609-1610, 1610-1612, 1612-1613, 1613-1614

YAJ Vol 13: 1614-1615

YAJ Vol 14: 1615-1617, 1617-1620

YAJ Vol 16: 1622- 1625

YAJ Vol 17: 1626-1628

YAJ Vol 20: 1628-1630

 

* The reason I use the expression 'so-called' in Part 2 is because the manuscripts of William Paver contain indices to the bonds and allegations supporting the application for a marriage license, not to the marriage licences themselves. Marriage licences were never kept by the Diocesan Registry, and the licences which were handed to the couple have rarely survived. Paver made his manuscript from the original registers of grants of licences in the Diocesan registry, while he was a Deputy Registrar. The original registers from which he made his manuscript have never never been recovered since he removed them, and only one register, for the years 1618-1620, appears to have escaped his clutches.

 

Part 3 is taken from Paver's Marriage Licences, vols. 1-3 1630-1644, 1660-1714: Yorkshire Archaeological Society record series, vols. 40, 43 & 46. The coverage of each volume is as follows:

 

YASRS Vol 40: 1630-1644

YASRS Vol 43: 1660-1674

YASRS Vol 46: 1674-1714

 

The bonds and allegations that were made at the time of application for a marriage licence have survived only from 1660.

 

Part 4 covers the period from 1715-1839, and has been taken from the published indexes in the following series:
