The present volume contains entries of Marriages solemnized in the parishes of S. Marie, S. Luke, S. Catherine and S. Werbnrgh. Those of S. Marie and S. Luke date back to the creation of the parish, those of S. Catherine are continued from the entries in Volume V of this series, and those of S. Werburgh, in addition to the registers now extant, include some entries from a previous volume which have been preserved in the library of Trinity College, Dublin.
The value of the Register of S. Marie has been much impaired by the fact that many entries have been made in a later hand, presumably by some person who had access to the Marriage Licence Grant Books. The interpolator has not scrupled to transfer entries once, but has in some cases entered them twice. There is a gap in the Register of S. Catherine from 1788 to 1792 inclusive : fortunately it has been possible to restore the entries from the Returns to Visitation.
