With the addition of the last set of Monkwearmouth marriages, we now have transcriptions of ALL the marriages that occurred in Anglican (Church of England) churches and chapels in County Durham from January 1813 to July 1837 (when Civil Registration started). Why this period? Because, for many parishes, the IGI lists marriages up to the end of 1812, but not beyond, so these marriages have not been easily accessible online until recently. Even for parishes whose marriages are listed in the IGI past 1813, our transcriptions may provide details such as marital status, place of residence, or witnesses whose names may prove helpful in identifying the bride or groom. (We are working on adding witnesses to the marriages; currently about 20% of the parishes have marriage witnesses recorded for this period.)
