Records of marriages occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s. Statewide registration began in 1866. Total compliance with the law was not accomplished until the 1880s, and even then the practice was not uniform. By that point, less than half of the population registered marriages. Total compliance was achieved in 1905 with the establishment of the Bureau of Vital Records. | Records of marriages occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s.
