Overseas Foreign Marriage Returns. This series contains marriage certificates issued by foreign registration authorities and churches, copies of entries in the registers kept by British embassies, incumbents of English churches and chaplains, notification of marriages of servicemen during service abroad, and documents deposited for safekeeping. These cover the period 1861 to 1921. These records give detailed information about both the groom and the bride and their family. Military Marriage records are also included in this record set giving Groom and Wife’s Name, Rank, Regiment and Nationality.
With RG34 records, it is important to remember that a marriage may also be recorded in the RG33 series but differences / more detail may occur and it is always worth checking both entries (if applicable) to obtain the most information possible.
