Between 1632 and 1714, thousands of couples secured their future with a licence from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Faculty Office. Every name tells a story. Geo. E. Cokayne's Calendar of Marriage Licences is a meticulously arranged marriage licences index drawn from these official Church of England records, creating a powerful genealogy reference book for anyone tracing kin, community, or social networks in seventeenth century England. Presented as a clear chronological calendar, this historical marriage records collection brings together bridegrooms, brides, parishes, occupations, and witnesses, turning scattered faculty office marriage records into one of the most valuable English genealogy sources for the turbulent age of Civil War, Commonwealth, and Restoration. Long prized by family history researchers, archivists, and social historians, Cokayne's work stands alongside the finest Harleian Society publications and parish register transcripts collection as an indispensable local history research tool, illuminating patterns of mobility, marriage strategy, and religious conformity across early modern British records. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Essential for anyone engaged in serious research yet engaging enough for those simply curious about ancestral lives, Calendar of Marriage Licences Issued by the Faculty Office 1632-1714 occupies a special place on the shelf: reference work, research gateway, and enduring cultural record.
