Marriages historical searches

The indexes in our Register office relate only to births, marriages and deaths which occurred within our area.

Searches of Marriage Indexes

Superintendent Registrars do not have the staff to undertake searches of an indefinite or protracted nature. We can search the index, for a period not exceeding 5 years, only when accurate marriage registration details are available.

Other ways of Searching

All Solihull libraries have a subscription to the Ancestry website, which gives free access from library computers to the General Register Office indexes to births, marriages and deaths in England & Wales. Copies of the indexes are also available on microfiche at Solihull Central Library. Historical marriage registers for a number of Solihull churches are also available on microfilm.

You can also contact the General Register Office- they hold a central copy of all Birth, Death and Marriage registers for England and Wales.
