Jeggo References in Boyd's Marriage Index for Suffolk

Boyd's Marriage Index is an index to English marriages taken from copies of parish marriage registers, Bishop's Transcripts (BT) and marriage licences (ML), for the period 1538 to 1840 (when statutory registration began).  It was principally the work of Percival Boyd, MA, FSA, FSG (1866-1955) and his staff.  It was made at his expense between 1925 and 1955, and has since been expanded.  The coverage of Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Essex is almost complete.

A copy of the Suffolk index is held in the Suffolk Record Office.  It contains records of over 277,000 Suffolk marriages (over 554,000 names).  491 of the 504 ancient parishes (97%) have been indexed.  Obvious abbreviations are used for common Christian names.
