 ==== County marriage registers before 1888  ====
-County marriage registers kept by the government before 1888 are found at the Provincial Archives. These are available for the following counties:
+=== Marriages 1812-1887  ===
+Beginning in 1812, the original counties were required to register marriages. Not all of the register books have survived, but of those that have, some early ones have been transcribed and published. Robert Fellows offers some cautions in his ''Researching Your Ancestors in New Brunswick ''(1979):
+''The Marriage Registers have their limitations. Over the years the indexes to some volumes have been lost… When indexes exist they are often by male name only …mistakes often occur. Names are sometimes left out or spelt wrong''. (page 115)
+They are available on microfilm from the PANB who list. Early Northumberland County marriages are listed among the Justices of the Peace records of their Courts of Quarter Session.<br>

+<br>** Père Henri Langlois, O.F.M. (1901-1968) compiled an eight volume, typescript record of marriages in Madawaska and the region of the upper St. John River, from 1792 to about 1940. This is essentially the Diocese of Edmundston and includes parishes in Aroostook in Maine. It is available at both the PANB in Fredericton, and LAC in Ottawa. The latter’s bound photocopy of the original onion-skin sheets is titled ''Dictionnaire Généalogique de Madawaska''. Entries are alphabetical by family name, i.e. Volume I is A-B, etc. <br> <br>*** ''Early Marriage Records of New Brunswick: Saint John City and County from the British Conquest to 1839'', Introductory Note and edited by Sociologist, B. Wood-Holt (Saint John: Holland House Inc., 1986), a somewhat curious compilation from many sources that probably includes almost all marriages in the Saint John region prior to 1840. Her notes are informative and the thorough indexing makes this a useful research tool.<br> <br>§ Ruby M. Cusack has transcribed and published the Saint John County registers, ''C 1839-1847'', and ''D 1847-1853''; as well as Kings County ''Register A, 1812-1844'' and ''Register B, 1844-1867''. John R. Elliott has published Kings County Registers C and D (1867-1888). See their listing in ''Generations''. As well, [http://www.rubycusack.com/ Ruby Cusack] has a website.
+§§ George H. Hayward has published York County ''Volume 1, 1812-1837'' and some for Carleton County, Ken Kanner has published the early Marriages for Albert and Westmorland Counties, see listings in ''Generations'' “Information Sheets”.
