DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from London Marriage Licences, 1521-1869 I need scarcely point out to genealogists, lawyers, and students, both historical and biographical, the extreme value of such records as these, yielding, as they do, a fund of absolutely original information. But I may perhaps remind them that Marriage Licences have an interest peculiar to themselves, not only from their mention, most important though it is, of the social status of the contracting parties, but also from the fact that while baptisms and burials can be traced from Parish Registers with com parative ease, Marriages, on the contrary, from the nature of the case, have Often to be sought for far afield. Thus it is that such a collection as this is simply indispensable to working Genealogists and to all real students, supplying them, as it does, readily and promptly, with the evidences of many a missing marriage, and the names of many a wife unknown - information which, even with much time and labour, they could other wise, as they know too well, scarcely, if ever, have obtained.
