The order is Anglican, Jewish, Quaker, (or Quaker, Jewish) registrar attended (for other denominations and RC) and then register office.
I extracted Dec 1/4 1874 and put the names and numbers into a spreadsheet and then sorted by page number. The range runs from 1-328
Like many databases, the GOONS marriage locator is a volunteer project and I suggest it is far from complete.
From the sorted data the sequence for 1874 runs
Benwell St James
Byker St Anthony
Byker St Michael
Elswick St Stephen
Elswick St Paul
Jesmond Clayton
N/C All Saints
N/C St Andrew
N/C St Ann
N/C Christchurch
N/C St John Baptist
N/C St John
N/C St Nicholas cathedral
N/C St Peter
Elswick St Phillip
The 1868 National Gazetteer on Genuki (
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/Newcastle/Gaz1868) lists the churches at that time as
"nine churches, besides numerous chapels. The livings are, St. Nicholas, St. Andrew's, St. John the Baptist's, All Saints', St. Peter's, St. Ann's, also St. Paul's and the new church at Byker, St. Thomas's, and St. Mary the Virgin's, in the corporation of Newcastle. "
plus townships in the townships of Byker, Elswick, Heaton, Jesmond, and Westgate which would also have had churches.
"The Roman Catholics have a church dedicated to St. Mary, which was erected in 1843. There are besides about 30 places of worship belonging to Dissenting congregations, including Wesleyan, Association, Primitive and New Connexion Methodists, Independents, Baptists, English, Scotch, United and Reformed Presbyterians, Scotch Kirk, Free Church, Unitarians, Glassites, Society of Friends, Swedenborgians, and Jews.
Referring back to the list of parishes in sequence, it is not complete.
Without someone going through all the registers at the register office and noting where the quarters start and stop, this will always be a work in progress.
It may be easier to work through the Anglican registers deposited at the archives but those of the Society of Friends, the Jewish records from the Synagogue and the registers from the register office may never be included.
Without further data, my Anglican list stops at page 185. That's not to say though that there aren't Anglican marriages after this number, I just don't have the records online to check.
At this time, the only way to know where the marriage took place is to order the cert.
It's a shame that marriage registers will not form part of the new GRO Index project as we now have with births and deaths.
If you can get hold of a copy, Michael Whitfield Foster's Comedy of Errors, it will prove most enlightening as to how the indexes were historically compiled and the errors and omissions caused as a result of late submissions by the Anglican clergy and the problems of reading their handwriting added to a very manual and labour-intensive system of indexing in pre-computer days.
