Leicestershire Parish Registers Marriages (Volume I) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354301483)

A vital key to Leicestershire family history. Every marriage tells a story. P. W. Phillimore's Leicestershire Parish Registers Marriages (Volume I) gathers a parish register collection of historical marriage records drawn from church marriage archives across the county. An indispensable genealogical reference book and a practical ancestry research tool, it organises English parish marriages so family historians and local history enthusiasts can trace names, dates and connections with confidence. Particularly useful to those investigating 19th century Leicestershire and Victorian era records, the volume offers faithful transcriptions and a systematic arrangement that suit both quick look-ups and sustained research. Part of the Phillimore parish registers tradition, it bridges archival authority and usable design, helping users map households, kinship and community networks over time. Beyond the entries themselves, the layout encourages pattern-spotting: parishes can be compared, recurring surnames traced and migration hints inferred from place-names, making it suitable for casual enquiries and deeper analytical work alike. Historically significant as a foundational county compendium, this work helped shape methods of British genealogy resource compilation and remains essential for social historians and amateur genealogists who seek primary entries. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike will value this edition: an approachable ancestry research tool for immediate enquiries and a durable reference for a curated library. Whether consulted by those piecing together Leicestershire family history or by scholars tracing population patterns in the Victorian era, Phillimore's volume rewards both the brief glance and the long investigation. Its sober, reliable entries make it an excellent complement to civil registration and census material, helping to confirm dates and relationships when other sources diverge. As both a working reference and a heritage object, the volume sits naturally among county studies and Phillimore parish registers as a touchstone for careful ancestry work.
