Description:
In 1828 Maine enacted a law requiring all ministers and Justices of the Peace to submit records of the marriages they performed to the town clerk of the town in which the marriage occurred. The town clerk then sent a certified copy of the marriages to the clerk of the Judicial Court of their respective county. A change in the law in 1892 eliminated the necessity of the records going to the county. They were sent directly the State. These county records are all that exist for some towns that lost their original records by fire, destruction or disappearance.
York County marriage returns for the years 1771-1888 are contained in three volumes and are located in the Maine State Archives. There is also a typeset book of marriage returns for 1771-1794 at the Maine State Archives. In this CD-Rom series, Picton Press brings you the images of all the original three volumes and the one typescript marriage returns with approximately 638 original pages.
