ST. VINCENT MARRIAGE RECORDS
These marriage records are for individuals born on St. Vincent or others married elsewhere with family ties to St. Vincent. The sources are British and American newspapers. Many parent’s names are found on this page.
NOTE: Be aware that these are transcriptions from old, hard to read newspaper articles, and there will be mistakes in deciphering some words and surnames, as well as question marks and blanks in places where a “guess” was not made. Also, spelling of some words has changed in modern times. Surnames have been capitalized for better reading.
Some of the extracts on this page were transcribed by researcher CINDY KILGORE, who has graciously allowed us to use them here.
