Title: Marriage in grooms or brides parish?
Post by: MysticBreeze on Tuesday 22 September 09 22:33 BST (UK)

Just a quick query .... back in the 1850s there abouts ... what was traditionally done?  Was the marriage generally in the grooms or brides parish?

In England it generally took place in the brides parish.

Hi, and occasionally the place they marry is
neither the bride or groom's home place like
 in the case of my parents who were both
Dublin born but married in Mullingar,yet all children
were born in Dublin.I suspect my great grandparents
also married in a parish not connected with either
one because none of their children or siblings
appeared in the parish register of the place they married.

Far as I recall up to the 1950's in Ireland it was the Brides parish. Unless if living elsewhere permission had to be saught from the Clergy in the Brides parish.

Many young girls went into service in the big houses outside their own parish and subsequently married in that parish.
