Ely Diocese Marriage Licences
« on: Friday 11 December 15 10:10 GMT (UK) »
Some new transcripts of marriage licences are now available on FindMyPast. I believe that the transcriptions are not exactly correct and would like to obtain a copy of the original record.

FindMyPast says these are available at Suffolk Record Office. I've tried 2 of their offices and neither appear to know anything about the originals.

Other option seems to be the Cambs University Library.

Has anyone found or obtained a copy of these specific marriage licences?
If so - how and where?

Merry Christmas to everyone
 :D

I've tried to consult some licences at the UL ... it's pretty chaotic, tbh. They're not indexed or sensibly archived at all ... just in random boxes. I didn't find what I wanted.

Oh dear - that doesn't sound very encouraging.

After a lot of searching I believe I have finally found a contact name at UL so hopefully I might get a result now.

Fingers crossed
