Boyd's Marriage Index

[Peter Goodey]

According to a press release on the Society of Genealogists web site, SoG data that was previously available on the Origins web site is moving to Findmypast.

The first batch includes -

• Boyd's Marriage Index containing over 7 million names from 1538 to 1840
• Boyd's London Burials 1538-1872 containing 240,000 names
• Faculty Office Marriage Licence Allegations 1701-1850
• Vicar-General Marriage Licences Allegations 1694-1850

I can't actually see the data on FMP at the time of writing but presumably it will appear soon.

I've just looked at Parish Records Marriages in Somerset and they are there. Mostly duplicating the Somerset Marriages index but only 5 credits instead of 10. Half price if you use credits.

Hi Peter - don't know about Boyds but I saw some SOG bits and pieces earlier today. I thought it was strange at the time but is a good move from my point of view. Never did like British Origins.

[Peter Goodey]

I think the data will be more readily available to a wider audience this way.

Most of it is now there.

And the Apprentices of Great Britain 1710-1774 .... AND Boyd's London Inhabitants. Fantastic! It is like Christmas!!

Would have thought a Sunday night would be a busy night - bit of a strange time for planned downtime at FMP IMO!
