Berkshire marriages

Discover your ancestor who got married in one of 97 parishes in Berkshire, England, between 1538 and 1927. The Berkshire marriages may reveal your relative’s name, age, spouse details, and possibly their marital status, occupations, and names of witnesses.

Marriage records are an essential part of researching your family history. There are records where the parents of the bride and groom are listed, and these are often the key to finding out the names of the generation before. Occasionally, ages of the couple may be listed as "full" rather than as a figure. This was a customary way of noting that they were over the required age of 21. If the bride or groom was under the age of 21, “with consent of parents” is noted in the record. Please note that no images are included in the records.

We have provided a full list of the parishes available in the Berkshire marriages. The parishes are listed alphabetically with the range of years available. For some parishes, there may be gaps within the range of years provided.
