Notes
- Boyd's Marriage Index is a tangled typescript bound in 533 volumes listing more than 3,500,000 English marriages for the period 1538 to 1837. It is held by the Society of Genealogists, London.[1]
Copies held on a variety of online Genealogical sites (findmypast, Ancestry ? etc)
The index was initially compiled at his expense by Percival Boyd,[2] MA, FSA, FSG (1866–1955) and his staff between 1925 and Boyd's death in 1955 from printed and transcribed parish registers, Bishop's Transcripts (copies of the registers sent each month to the Diocesan centre), marriage licences, banns and other sources. A number of further supplements to Boyd's index are now available.
