Marriage bonds issued by the Durham Diocese 1694-1703 (1,078 bonds). There was only one bond in the period 18 Feb 1695 – 2 Mar 1697 and no surviving bonds for 25 Mar 1698 – 12 Jan 1700 or 24 Nov 1702 – 6 Mar 1703.
Please read the Marriages Bonds section of the Transcription Samples page for a description of what information is found in bonds, allegations, and associated documents, and how we present that information.
The Diocese of Durham covered all of County Durham and parts of Northumberland and North Yorkshire. Marriage bonds were not issued on a per-district basis, so the District filter is ignored when the marriage bond database is searched.
These records are from Ron Nubley’s Index, which we are in the process of integrating into our collection, so when you buy one of these, you will immediately get the brief index entry, and the full entry will be transcribed and emailed to you within 3 days, at which point it becomes part of our database and you can view it again at any time.
