Before a marriage could take place in
the Church England, one or two procedures had to take place (BANNS) (LICENCE).
Banns
Banns registers have no additional information to marriage registers.
They do not state addresses, or parents names, but merely record the parishes of
the couple and the of calling of the banns.
They are however, of use in tracing a marriage, which might have taken place in
another parish. After 1754: banns were often recorded in the marriage register.
A separate banns register was introduced in 1823.
The legal preliminary to marriage in church is for
banns to be published. Banns are the public announcement that two people wish to
marry, and an invitation to anybody who knows just cause or impediment to the
union to declare it. On three Sundays prior to the wedding, the banns are read
out in the parish churches of the future bride and groom, and are effective for
three months afterwards. Banns must be called in both the church where the
wedding is to be held, as well as the parish churches of the bride and groom
(from which certificates of banns must be obtained.
Licence:
Most marriage licenses were obtained from the diocese
where one of the parties lived, and in which the marriage was to take place. The
licenses themselves rarely survive. But the related marriage bonds and
allegations were kept in the issuing diocesan office.
