Mr Google suggests
https://www.northants-fhs.org/marriagelicences/
Holdings at Northants Archives:
There are two card indexes for Licence Bonds (by surname of both groom and bride) which gives names of parties, bondsman, date and often place of marriage. These cover 1598-1684 and 1685-1836. There are other registers of grants amongst the Peterborough Diocesan records from 1636-1651, 1660-1665, 1668- 1684 for the Consistory Court of Peterborough so mainly covering the northern parishes (although there was no real division of the county) and for the Archdeaconry Court of Northampton for 1614-1621 and 1668-1683. Affidavits have not as a rule been preserved before 1823. From 1858 to 1917 the affidavits are bound in chronological order in volumes.
