Project Instructions This database contains allegations for marriage licences in Hampshire, England from the registry of the bishop of Winchester from 1689 to 1837. These extracts are arranged alphabetically by the groom's surname and provide such information as names of bride and groom, occupations, ages, where from, and date of licence.
