More Long Melford marriages

Marriages from 1701 to 1753 are now online!

I transcribed marriages from 1717-1753 over a decade ago, so I’ve revised and updated them, as well as added marriages from 1701-1716. There’s nearly 600 for you to look through, and they include several people from Essex, so maybe you’ll knock down some pesky brickwalls!

Long Melford marriages

This is not an April Fool! Over 800 marriages for Long Melford, Suffolk, from 1570 to 1650, are now online.

These were quite a challenge to transcribe – some parts of the entries have been lost on the edge of the page. I’ve referred to Boyd’s when this has happened, and I’ve made it clear in the notes what Boyd’s interpretation is. Hopefully you’ll find your family in these records!
