Title: Kings Lynn Marriage look up
Post by: hawk_eye1975 on Monday 01 December 14 15:45 GMT (UK)
Hi all,

Ive found a marriage for a couple I'm researching, but it states:- Archdeaconry of Norwich, Norfolk as the place of marriage???
They both come from Kings Lynn, so does this mean they were married in Norwich??

Any help would be great!!

Thanks in advance

Peter

What parish and/or church does it state they were married in?

A church diocese is divided into Episcopal Areas, and then into Archdeaconries.
Each Archdeaconry is overseen by an Archdeacon.

An Archdeaconry is then divided into Deaconries, which are further sub-divided into parishes.

This may help. The information you are seeking starts after the little photographs end. Lynn and Kings Lynn seem to be the same.

You may find that they were married by Licence and the Licence was issued in the Archdeaconry of Norwich Court.

A register office marriage wouldn't mention the Archdeaconry?! ;D

The place of marriage will not be "the Archdeaconry" but it will be a place within the Archdeaconry?!


Do you have the original Parish Register entry?

Hi

The Norfolk Marriage Index shows them married 10 June 1830 at Lynn South.

Lynn South All Saints comes under the Court of the Archdeaconry of Norwich, no sign of a marriage bond (licence) for them.

But they did!! ;D

The original document only mentions the parish:
"Marriages solemnized in the parish of South Lynn All Saints
In the county of Norfolk  in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty"

The document is from the Bishop's Transcripts - copies of the Parish Register sent to the Bishop - within the Archdeaconry of Norwich! ;D
