The only thing that has happened to Boyds Marriage index is that it was transferred from Origins to Find My Past following a new contractual arrangement by the SoG starting last January. Most of the index is now up also on MySoG available through the main SoG website. From memory the Main series and 1st Miscellaneous series are available but the 2nd Miscellaneous Series is not available yet. The index will give the year ONLY, together with both parties and the source from which Percival Boyd got the data. To get the full details it will be necessary to look up the details in the Parish Register or other source used. Many of the sources are held within the SoG Library. The same thing has happened to all the other SoG material held on Origins. Frank Hardy
Many thanks for this explanation Frank Over the years I have collected so many Marriages for my One-Name Study, that I had completely forgotten that Boyds Index never included the exact Date of the Marriage. In practice nearly every other pre-1837 index source does include the Date, and I am surprised at how few gaps I have in this respect when combining all sources.
