Back in March we were alerted to FamilySearch's collection of England, Devon and Cornwall Marriages, 1660-1912, comprising 4,692 browseable images of marriage bonds and allegations from the Diocese of Exeter, post-1660, which FS is still in the process of indexing, such that they currently have 153,094 searchable results for Event: Any, Place: Devon 112,266 searchable results for Event: Residence, Place: Devon That is, of course, at least two results per couple, or four if there are two documents for their marriage. https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1833719 FMP now have a new collection of Britain, Marriage Licences including 10,436 searchable indexed images (5218 marriages?) from the Diocese of Exeter from 1523 to 1632. https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/britain-marriage-licences?o=lastname&d=asc&county=devon I don't have FMP so cannot comment on the transcriptions or images, but a free search easily identifies the names of the couples. That 28-year gap between FMP and FS includes the English Commonwealth of 1849-1660. Martin Beavis - DFHS 223203
