Welcome to Paul Joiner's marriage index for the North of England and Hertfordshire pre 1837, with over 1,000,000 marriages.
This Index is the fruit of more than thirty years of research by Paul Joiner. Originally covering the counties of Durham and North Yorkshire, the database has spread to cover much of the North of England and Paul's home county of Hertfordshire.
For some years now manual offline searches have been offered for this database of just over 1,600,000 marriages from the early 1500's to 1837. This site represents the first opportunity to search the database yourself, and currently offers just over 1,000,000 marriage records.
So why use the Joiner Marriage Index?
Because there is no resource that is better or easier to use that offers this type of data for marriages from before 1837.
A basic search is carried out to reveal the number of relevant records before any payment is required. This maybe refined to adjust the number of records and cost.
The search results are received instantly following payment through PayPal, which has proved both secure and reliable throughout the first year this Index has been online.
The search results are displayed both on screen and in an email. A random password is also created to allow future access of the search results through the Member section of the site.
The cost of a search starts from £2.50 for up to 10 marriage records. This increases by £1.00 per 10 records up to a maximum of £21.50 for 200 records.
The online service provides searches for up to 200 records. Larger searches should be requested by making contact with Paul to allow a more personal touch.
