I think like most things ,the district is all. I am looking for information on Lancashire and Cheshire areas.
However I will look the FSO site and see if there are any entries.

Thank you

Not sure which sites you have been looking at but this is the link for Durham images on familysearch (free). If you browse through the images, you will see some for widow(er)s and older people.

So it looks as though only the first page of two is on the web site.-Well at least at this date. 1759

Unfortunate becuse it often contains age of bridal party. Which can eliminate other options.

I haven't however seen one where the parties are older or widowed , I guess that be more informative?
thank you . the other site has the same problem...

Have just browsed through the images on familysearch for Durham Diocese Marriage Licences for the years 1805 & 1855. The 1805 ones are of two pages but the 1855 ones are only one page. Looks as if the forms were changed at some time between those two years.

Q1,

Are the images shown on the paid sites for marriage license complete ?

I have a purchased copy = from the record office, which has 2 sheets and a copy of the banns register.

I need to see the second sheet on another marriage (which on mine show ages of both parties.

(The first page shows the names and the Bondsmen, required to pay if the marriage does not take place? a Bond payment of 100 pounds.)

I dont know if this is a uniform procedure, the second form is printed too.

thank you
