MARRIAGE-NOTICE BOOK

A marriage-notice book is a registry in England where people apply for marriage licenses and record their marriage.

When John and Jane decided to get married, they went to the local registry office and filled out an application in the marriage-notice book. The book recorded their names, ages, occupations, and other important information. Once their application was approved, they were issued a marriage license and could legally get married.

Another example is when Sarah and Tom got married in a church. Before the ceremony, they had to show their marriage license, which was recorded in the marriage-notice book. This ensured that their marriage was legal and recognized by the government.
