Marriage Licences

Lincoln Marriage Licences

Lincoln Marriage Licences. An Abstract of the Allegation Books preserved in The Registry of the Bishop of Lincoln 1598 to 1628. Edited by A Gibbons. London: Mitchell & Hughes, 140 Wardour Street, W. 1888.

The name in brackets at the end of each entry is the church where the marriage was to be solemnized; where a saint’s name only is given, the church was at Lincoln. “Ditto ” in brackets signifies the same church as in the preceding entry; and where both parties reside in the same parish, and the marriage was to be solemnized at their parish church, the name is not repeated in brackets. In order to economize space, “aged” is abbreviated “æt.,” “yeoman” “yeom.,” “husbandman” “husb.,” “widow” “wid., “application” “appln.;” besides a few other obvious abbreviations. Places situate in other counties than Lincoln are generally so specified.

1613 May 17 Giles Broome, of Lyfeild, co. Rutland, yeom., æt. 30, & Dorothie Marsingale, of St Swithin’s, Lincoln, wid. , æt. 33. [St Swithin.]
