New Brunswick Marriage Records Index

In New Brunswick, marriage documents are crucial for genealogical research, offering valuable insights into family histories. Historically, the province has maintained various marriage records, beginning with church registers in the early 19th century. These records, often held by religious institutions, document marriages performed by clergy, including names, dates, and sometimes parental details. In 1870, the Marriage Act required civil registration, leading to the creation of official government marriage certificates, which are still available today. These documents provide vital information for genealogists, such as full names, ages, occupations, and sometimes birthplaces of spouses. They are essential for tracing family lines and understanding demographic trends in New Brunswick's evolving communities.
