WEDDINGS 1641 to 1836
Transcribed from the Parish Registers held at the Dorset History Centre and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker
Arranged according to the Gregorian Calendar, with the Julian year indicated to the left of the forward slash (/) in those years when the Julian Calendar, which ran from March 25th to March 24th, was in use (i.e. prior to 1752, 1751 being the transition year).
The register is very difficult to read in places, so researchers are urged to use this transcript only as a guide and to check the original in Dorchester
