If you are looking for ancestors who were Methodists, Wesleyans, Baptists, Independents, Protestant Dissenters, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Unitarians, Quakers (Society of Friends), Dissenters and Russian Orthodox, then you may wish to consult this pay per view service.
You can find it at http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk/

Great tip! And you can get some of the information free at FamilySearch, so it's worth checking there, too.
 
Silly question from me :) but can all non conformist marriages be found in the GRO listings? Or are the all kept in the church concerned?
Thankyou :)

By the way, Carol, I meant to say - no questions are ever silly! If you don't ask, you won't find out. I thought about your question but couldn't answer it. So, thank you, Britjan.
 
Marriage record searches tend to get repetitive but I always try to include Family Search ( as Peter mentioned in an older post). There you will also see resources such as the old faithfuls like Pallots Index ( accessible via Ancestry) and Free Reg. If you go via a Family Search to a parish you can link to Genuki and see all the churches and chapels in that parish and neighbouring ones. Boyds Marriage Index is accessible through Find my Past (and Genes Reunited) with good explanations of what it contains.
 
Thank you both for your helpful replies, with regard to family search do you know if they have the Guernsey marriages on there to view ?
 
Yes, and don't forget the Society of Genealogists (if you're a member) SOG. They have a huge collection of records.
I meant to post this ages ago but forgot to click on 'post reply'. :(
 
FamilySearch section for Guernsey has 41,650 records under 'Channel Isles Birth and Bapts 1820 - 1907' and 224 records under 'Find a Grave index'. No marriages it seems.
The site Gillian put a link to seems more promising.
 
It never hurts to see what conclusions about "hatches,matches and dispatches" people have made in putting their public trees on Ancestry. It can be erroneous information copied over and over but I've seen some good stuff. Lots of forum members are big fans of public trees and there's a lively forum subsection on the subject under "Skeletons in my closet"
