PREFACE
WHEN a licence for marrying without the proclamation of banns
was granted by the Bishop of Chester or those duly appointed
by him for that purpose, a form, known as a Marriage Licence
Bond, was filled up by the contracting parties and their surety or
bondsman and deposited with the registrar. From these forms, 1
short abstracts in Latin, containing the main facts in the case,
were entered into a folio volume kept by the registrar.
The following volume contains short English abstracts of the
entries contained in the first of these Marriage Licence Act
Books, which covers the period between the dates i8th July
1606 and 22nd March 1616.
Through the kindness of the Registrars, the transcript has
been made by Mr. W. H. Price, the registrars' clerk, who has
carefully collated the proof with the original manuscript.

PREFACE vii
The following particulars of the Act Books relating to Marriage
Licences still remaining in the Registry at Chester will be found
of interest :
Dates of Marriage Licence Volumes in the Registry. 1606 (July 18)
to 1615-16 (Marph 22); 1616 (April n)to 1624 (May 17);
1624 (May 18) to 1631-2 (March 24); Hiatus; 1639 (March
30) to 1644 (Oct. 21). NOTE. The entries at end of this
volume, following the entry of licence John Baxter and
Dorothy Brooke of 27th June 1642 and extending to 2ist Oct.
1644, appear to have been very irregularly entered, and it is
a question whether the volume contains the whole of the
licences issued during this period (June 1642 to Oct. 1644).
Probably not, unless owing to the troublesome times fewer
licences were granted. Hiatus; 1666-7 (J an - 9) to 1679-80
(March 24); 1680 (April 6) to 1694 (Dec. 27); 1695 (March
25)10 1700 (Aug. 31); Hiatus; 1719 (June) to 1726 (Oct.);
1726 (Oct.) to 1732; 1733 to 1772; 1733 to 1745; 1745 to
1762; 1755 to 1757; 1788*10 1796 ; Hiatus. The volumes are
continuous from 1838. The volumes from 1733 to 1796 are
very irregularly entered up.
The original marriage licence bonds begin in 1661.
The documents at Chester only relate to licences affecting
residents within the ancient Archdeaconry of Chester, i.e. all
Cheshire, Lancashire south of the Ribble, and the Welsh parishes
in Bangor Deanery. The licences for the Archdeaconry of
Richmond are at Lancaster.
