London Marriage Licences 1521 -1869	Transcripts of licences granted from the Bishop of London's Office (1521 to 1828), the Dean and Chapter of Westminster's Office (1599 to 1699), the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury (1543 to 1869) and the Vicar General's Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury (1660 to 1679) Note that these contain lists of licences granted in a particular diocese, but they include details of marriage licences relating to people all over the country, and are very valuable sources of family history information, as they also often include parents' names, villages & towns of residence, etc. Not just for those with London ancestors

Hampshire Marriage Licences 1689-1837	Originally published by the Herlien Society in 1893, and now available to you to use on CD in your own home. Although the licences recorded in these volumes are predominantly for Hampshire couples and for marriages in Hampshire parishes, they do also contain many for other parts of Great Britain. Especially noticeable here, are the number of mariners and soldiers of all ranks from captains to drummers, from all parts of Britain and beyond!
