Some are in various collections at the state archives; some are available at the county courthouses; and some, such as those for Bergen, are at county historical archives. A large collection of Essex County dockets arranged by the name of the justice of the peace, 1782 to 1911, was filmed at the Essex County courthouse and is available at the state archives. <ref>({{FHL|100619|item}} film 1302538 items 2-6.) </ref>The state archives has the original justice of the peace dockets for some counties. | The early county marriages for most counties, often with supplementary marriages from church records, have been transcribed and published and are available at the Family History Library.

The marriage returns before 1878 give the names of the bride's and groom's parents. The registers after 1878 do not have parents' names, but the marriage certificates do. Marriage returns since 1886 and marriage affidavits have not been microfilmed. The Family History Library has some of the following records, which are also available at the state archives. | The marriage returns before 1878 give the names of the bride's and groom's parents.
