Parish Registers of Marske in Cleveland, Yorkshire, England
The Banns Book of Marske, commencing 1754, has been compared with the Marriage Regsiters. Entries relating to people whose Banns were called in marske Church, but who were not married there, are given on pages 159-161. Where the entry is illegible, or where there is no entry at all, the Editor has indicated it by [blank], and where any doubt as to the name exists, by a query. The letters lic. indicate that a Marriage was solemnized by License: where this does not occur it was in all cases performed after the publication of Banns. The Registers have been kept in Latin down to the year 1685, and it has been thought advisable in indexing to substitute English Christian names for Latin, with the exception of Maria and Jacob, as the latter may stand for either Jacob or James. This register is in order by record, year and then date. There is an alphabetical index starting at page 240. The registers contain the following:
