I have purchased or would like to purchase a BC Marriage Registration, but what information can I glean from a record such as this and how will it help me in my further research?

Based on the marriage record provided in this example a researcher could search these records:

- Church records could be investigated as the religious denominations have been indicated in this record.  Baptisms and marriages of other family marriages should be looked for in the church records since most families would have attended the same church.
- Census records for the area and the individuals mentioned in this record.

- Witnesses to a marriage record should be investigated as possible members of the family.
- Death and Birth records should be searched for the individuals indicated in the records.
- Birth announcements could be searched in this region for the individuals indicated in the records.

This record establishes this families location at a specific date.  This record also establishes full names and religions.

This is not a full representation of a research plan for this particular certificate, this is only intended to be an example of the assistance that this BC Marriage Registration can be in Genealogical research. Information on each certificate can vary.  The more recent records contain more detailed information than earlier records do.  It is always important to note that the information on a record such as these BC Registrations, should be used as a guide, and collaborating evidence should be pursued.  Information provided in these records was provided by an informant, usually a family member, by memory of the event.
