Marriage Licences

[larkspur]

I see that Find My Past have the Leicestershire Marriage Licences. I have found my 4x great grandfathers marriage in 1807. Could anyone please tell me what likely info I may find before I go and renew membership. Thank you.

According to FindMyPast

Each result will provide both a transcript and image of the original record. Images have been provided by the Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester, & Rutland. Transcripts will vary in the amount of detail contained, but most records will include the following fields:

First name(s)

Last name

Birth year

Residence

Licence year

Licence date

Parish

Spouse’s first name(s)

Spouse’s last name

Spouse’s birth year

Spouse’s residence

Denomination

County

Later records will often include additional details such as marital status and age. The images of the original records may also be able to provide additional insight, occasionally including the groom’s profession.

Caution regarding the ages given as the wording often says 21 years and upwards eg 21 and over. It does not mean that the people named are 21 years  old.

Many thanks, that is a great help.
