MARRIAGES 1732 to 1921

Transcribed from the Parish Registers held at the Dorset History Centre and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker
[1903-1921 Jon Baker]

Arranged according to the Gregorian Calendar, with the Julian year indicated to the left of the forward slash (/) in those years when the Julian Calendar, which ran from March 25th to March 24th, was in use (i.e. prior to 1752, 1751 being the transition year).

Unfortunately the first two dedicated marriage registers are damaged, one by fire the other by mice. Please therefore use this transcript as a guide only and check the originals.
