Hi Julia, Beginning in 1812, all marriages in New Brunswick (with some exceptions for Quakers) had to be registered with the counties. The person who performed the marriage, whether he was a minister or a justice of the peace, was required to fill out a marriage certificate and send it to the county clerk of the peace. The clerk, in turn, was required to transcribe the certificate into a bound marriage register for the county. As Marilyn has pointed out, PANB has a Charlotte County Genealogical Guide available. Section 2, MARRIAGE RECORDS (RS148), on page 4, lists the above marriage certificates and registers. (They start before 1812 because of earlier laws.) Any marriages performed by Elias Wright should be interspersed among those records, provided he followed the law and registered them properly.
