Kent marriage registration codes
« on: Sunday 27 April 08 00:16 BST (UK) »
Hi

Many people are aware of the Kent Registration Services site for marriages.
http://extranet3.kent.gov.uk/sp/rois/home.html

Just found a site that has an Excel file which tells the church that the marriage took place using the register reference.
Example C35X = Maidstone, All Saints and C36X = Maidstone, Holy Trinity etc.

There are some gaps and codes can cover two place but I found it useful.
