O'Hara Marriage Records

Marriage records for the O'Hara group

These records are made up of three sections. Firstly Marriage Banns, Marriage Registers and Marriage Certificates.

From about the 12th century until 1837, our ancestors usually married in churches. Ideally, they should have been married by banns or alternatively (from the 14th century onward) by licence. Technically, from 1538 the details of the marriage should have been recorded by the clergyman in the parish register. Making marriage records an invaluable tool for those tracing their genealogy.

In addition to the original parish registers, each church was required to make copies. These were collated centrally and known as the Bishops Transcripts (BT’s). In reality, the two sets of registers are not always identical. Sometimes a clergyman might add corrections to the BT’s. Such as fixing a misspelling or adding an accidentally missed entry.
