    1. [LAN] Lancashire Marriage Licence and Bonds on Find My Past
    2. June Dowling via
    3. Hi all, Filmed records of many Lancashire Marriage Licences and Bonds are available on Find My Past. As with Lancashire pre 1858 Wills - these are for people in those places South of the Ribble such as Colne, Burnley, Blackburn, Rochdale, Haslingden etc etc. (These are locations which you may not have considered to be south of the Ribble). To find these marriage licences you need to access the Cheshire records on Find My Past. Hence; 1. Click 'Search' on the ribbon menu at the top of the home page.2. Click 'A-Z of Record Sets'3. Start typing in 'Cheshire' (without the quotes) in the search box.4. Amongst the list of Cheshire records which appear - select 'Cheshire Marriage Licence Bonds and Allegations'5. Enter your search criteria in the search box which appears ----BUT DO NOT INSERT A PARISH --- you will see that many results do not show a location -- you will need to click on the filmed record to see where the marriage occurred. In many, many instances - this will be in Lancashire. I hope someone finds something of interest amongst these supposedly 'Cheshire' records. Regards June
