Marriages at Didmarton 1675 - 1751

This transcription is taken from Volume 11 of Gloucestershire Parish Registers - Marriages, edited by W.P.W. Phillimore, M.A., B.C.L., and published in 1905 by Phillimore & Co.

The spelling, grammar and notes are all as recorded in the original book. Any additions to the original, such as these notes, are shown in grey coloured text.

The Registers of the parish consist of two volumes only, covering the period 1675 to 1751, after which date the weddings are recorded jointly with those at Oldbury on the Hill  [Modern Note. This Register is available on separate page].

Volume 1 is of parchment sheets sewn together, measuring 13 in. by 6 in., it is unbound, and is in bad condition; it includes Baptisms, Marriages and Burials.

Volume 2 is of parchment, bound in vellum, measuring 13 in by 7 1/2 in., and is in good condition; it also includes Baptisms, Marriages and Burials.

These Marriages have been extracted by the Rev. W. Symonds, M.A., and are now printed by leave of the Rev. R.F. Wilson, M.A., Rector of Didmarton.
