Number of marriage registrations to a page?
« on: Tuesday 06 June 06 21:07 BST (UK) »
Hi

Please can somebody remind me how many names appeared on each page of a marriage register at various times in the 19C and the years when they changed.  I should know but have forgotten and can't seem to find the information anywhere.

Many thanks

Marie.

per FreeBMD website http://www.freebmd.org.uk/marriage-help.html

"Prior to 1852, up to 4 marriages were entered on each page of the register. After that (with a few exceptions) there are two marriages per page."
