Scope and content
Series forms part of the Nova Scotia Deputy Registrar General Fonda and consists of marriage registration books prepared initially from quarterly lists of marriage licences completed by local issuers of marriage licences and forwarded to the Statistics Office in Halifax, N.S. The local officials would also forward the completed "marriage forms" that contained information on each marriage. Books record the names of those married, their ages, their place of birth and residence, their parents names and occupations, the name and church affiliation of the minister involved, the names of witnesses and the occupation of the groom. Each county has separate registration books that start in 1864 and end, depending on the county, between 1906 and 1918. Series has an alphabetical index arranged by county and year.
