Archbishop of Canterbury
Vicar General Marriage Licence Index: "VICAR-GENERAL MARRIAGE LICENCES
1694-1850
AND FACULTY OFFICE LICENCE ALLEGATIONS
1701-1850
'This is an index to the surnames of couples entered in the manuscript calendars of the archepiscopal marriage licences issued by the Vicar-General's Office for the period 1 January 1694 to 31 December 1850.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, through his Vicar-General, issued common licences for couples to marry in any parish church or chapelry in the province of Canterbury.
Common licences merely dispensed with the calling of banns on three successive Sundays.
If the couple lived in different ecclesiastical provinces (one in the Province of Canterbury and one in York Province) an application had to be made to the Master of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury. These licences were known as Faculty Office licences."
These contain the oldest LAPHAM records that I have found so far.
