Oxfordshire Archdeacon’s Marriage Bonds
Gives the name of the bride and groom, their parish, and the name of a bondsman, who was often a relative. Once in a while it gave other information such as age of couple, or permission to be married from the parents for someone who was underage. The index was alphabetised by grooms names for each year.
There are over 20,000 marriage bonds in the index available to download in PDF format.
