== What is in This Collection? ==
== What is in the Collection? ==
This collection consists of marriage records from the Diocese of Durham, including the Allertonshire peculiar, for the years 1594-1815.  
This collection consists of marriage records from County Durham for the years 1594-1815.  


Marriage allegations and bonds were sworn statements filed by a bride and groom as part of a marriage license application. The allegation stated that there was no known reason that the marriage should not take place; bonds contractually obligated the signers to pay a sum of money if the allegation was incorrect. Until 1733, marriage bonds were written partly in Latin but the wording was standardized and is easier to decipher in the printed forms that were in use by the 1690s.

As one of the 39 historic counties of England, County Durham has a long history. From the time of the Norman Conquest, the county was governed by a series of bishops who had been endowed with great secular authority by royal decree, making the city of Durham one of the foremost centers of both religious and political influence in the north of England. This eminence lasted until the nineteenth century when the bishops of Durham were stripped of the bulk of their secular powers.

*Make sure to fully transcribe and cite the record entry for future reference; see below for assistance in citing this collection. Save or print a copy of the image if possible.

*Use the information which has been discovered to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined.
*Save or print a copy of the image if possible
*Use the information which has been discovered and locate the original parish marriage record, if possible. See the [[England, Durham Diocese Bishops' Transcripts (FamilySearch Historical Records)|Durham Bishops' Transcripts]] page for more information and options.
*If an age is found, use that date to estimate a birth year and search for a birth record
*If in the appropriate period, use the information which has been discovered to find the individual in civil records. Particularly useful for research in nineteenth-century England are the [[England Census]] and the [[England Civil Registration]] records.
*Use the names of the bride and groom to search in census records for the new family
*Continue to search the index to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives. Note that family members often appear on an individual's vital records, such as in the role of witnesses to a marriage.
*If a parent's name is listed, go back into censuses and find the individual as a child

*When looking for a person with a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which individual is correct. Use other information, such as place of birth, age, occupation, or names of parents, to determine which candidate is the correct person. If listed, a personal title may be a clue to property ownership or occupation, either of which might be noted in other records.
*Check for variants of given names and surnames
*Check for variants of given names and surnames; simple clerical errors were always possible. In addition, spelling was not standardized for much of the period of this collection, so pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation. Individuals could also be listed under a middle name, [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm nickname], or [[Abbreviations Found in Genealogy Records|abbreviation]] of their given name. For women, it was not uncommon to revert to a maiden name after the death of a previous husband.
*Simple clerical errors were always possible
*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches. Alternatively, try expanding the date range.
*Spelling was not standardized for much of the period of this collection, so pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation
*Search the records of nearby areas. While it was uncommon for an individual in this period to move more than about 20 miles from their place of birth, smaller relocations were not uncommon. For this particular collection, this step may require finding records in the bordering English counties of Northumberland or Yorkshire, or perhaps even Cumberland or Westmorland.
*Individuals could also be listed under a middle name, a nickname, or an abbreviation of their given name
*Look at the actual image of the record to verify the information found in the online description, if possible.
*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name, surname, or expand the date range to return a broader list of possible matches
