England / Marriage registration
« on: Sunday 23 January 22 22:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am failing to find a marriage for my relatives in Deptford, Kent, which I would expect to find around 1841-1845.
I'm wondering when it became a legal obligation to register a marriage, and if marriages after 1837 were still taking place e.g. in non-conformist chapels without official registration?
Thanks!
