Marriages 1766 to 1812
Transcribed from Dorset Parish Registers Marriages originally published in 1909 by W P W Phillimore & Edmund Nevill, Volume IV
NOTE -The Marriages printed here before 1704 are taken from transcript of the
Fordington Registers preserved in the Registry of the Dean of Sarum
VOL III 1766-1791 also the usual printed form of Marriage Register but is printed on paper
VOL IV 1797-1812 is similar in style to the last two volumes
These Marriage extracts have been copied by the Rev R Grosvenor
Bartelot the Vicar by whose permission they are now printed
Comments by Michael Russell
Note:- Transcription of Fordington Marriages were done some time ago. As I was transcribing the Baptisms and Burials from Bishops Transcripts, and Marriage entries prior to 1704 came from these returns, I gradually became aware of a few errors. It is not my intention to be critical in any way particularly as I found these original transcriptions invaluable when dealing with faded or water damaged documents which sometimes were in Latin. Apart from checking on handwriting, spellings etc I constantly referred to the marriages to check on new families to the Parish and there is no doubt that without this documentation my own transcriptions would have been less accurate than they are.
Some tiny errors are important however. For example where a change in year has been omitted or the wrong year quoted. I have therefore reproduced the listing below and added in comments in italics and used a different colour to highlight them as here. Entries below after 1704 are from Registers not Bishops Transcripts, I have highlighted differences with the Bishops Transcripts that I have but it should be born in mind that the originals may be correct although they were compiled by local churchwardens or the vicar who knew the individual families.
