Hello Listers, Is there an nominal INDEX of Intents to Marry, Dunedin 1900 -1915 ? If not were they published in a newspaper ? TIA Jonathan in Toronto, Canada

Hi Jonathan email National Archives, Wellington Intention to Marry Notices Archives New Zealand in Wellington holds Registers of Notices of Intention to Marry <http://archives.govt.nz/personal-identity> for the whole of New Zealand for the period 1856-1956 [BDM 20/1-375]. Other offices have some regional registers. A card index to Notices of Intention to Marry in the Wellington Reading Room gives access to Notices in the Registers for the period 1856-1881. The Registers are organised in 3 monthly periods and by place of registry roughly from north to south, but alphabetical within regions. After 1881 researchers need to know the approximate date and the place of marriage. Bob M
