INFORMATION IN AN OPR BANNS & MARRIAGES RECORD Do not expect too much from OPR banns & marriages records. The amount of information recorded can be variable and most entries contain very little detail. At best: date(s) of the proclamation of intended marriage and/or date of marriage, names of bride and groom and their parish of residence, sometimes the occupation of the groom and occasionally the name of the bride's father. At worst:the names of the bride and groom recorded along with the fee paid in caution.
