The marriages in the St Laud's parish registers for 1698 to 1812 were transcribed by W P W Phillimore & Co and published in 1907 in Volume 3 of a set of nine volumes covering the whole of Buckinghamshire.

The information here is a transcription of Phillimore's Sherington pages, rather than a direct transcription of the original registers. Note: any errors in the original transcription will therefore have been repeated.

To assist you in finding the information for particular individuals, the data is also presented alphabetically by groom's surname and by the bride's maiden name.

Notes

There are 473 marriages recorded. The groom's name is provided in every case, but ten brides are not named and five dates are not stated.

In Phillimore's original, the year is shown by 'ditto' marks when there is more than one marriage in any year. In several cases in Volume 2, and one in Volume 1, the ditto marks continue after December into entries with months such as January, February, March. It appears that these might be errors, but if so it is not currently known if these are in the original register or just Phillimore's transcription. It is also possible the dates are actually correct, e.g. if the entries were added later as a group, say at the end of the year, instead of as they occurred. There are also two odd dates of 1774 between the 1741 and 1742 entries. All these entries are indicated by a '?' in the Comments column.

The place of origin is only stated when the bride or groom were not from Sherington.
