Index to British Columbia marriage registrations available on microfilm (GR-2962) generated from the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency computer database. It consists of two complete alphabetical listings (one by surname of brides, and the other by surname of grooms) of marriages registered within the Province of British Columbia. Each entry contains: name of the bride or groom; registration number (format is year-province code-finding number, e.g., 1921-09-006017); the event date (format is year/month/day, e.g., 1921/05/29); name of spouse; event place (e.g. Victoria); microfilm reel number assigned by the BC Archives (the B number) and number given to the microfilm reel by the Genealogical Society of Utah (referred to as the "GSU microfilm number" ).

To find an individual registration, first look up a person's name in the alphabetical listing. Note the bride will be listed by her pre-marriage surname. When you have found the right name and event, make note of the registration number, the event date, and the BCA or GSU microfilm reel number. Instructions for locating the actual registration can be found in the Finding Aid for GR-2962.

Index to marriage registrations compiled on an early computerized system by the Registrar's office in Victoria from indexes created in regional offices. It was printed out sometime in the early 1960s and the pages were bound into volumes which have been microfilmed for public reference purposes.

This index consists of two separate alphabetical listings of all persons married and registered within the Province of British Columbia, from the beginning of 1872 to the end of 1929. The first listing is by the surnames of grooms, and the second listing is by surnames of brides. However, unlike the fiche index (GR-3033), there is no single alphabetical sequence (they are grouped by date) and a conversion list at the beginning of each reel must be used to locate the microfilm reel number for the actual registration.

Each entry contains, from left to right: the last four digits of the record (or registration) number; the name of the groom or bride; the name of the spouse (bride or groom); the place of the marriage; the date of the marriage (format is month/day/year, e.g., 05/21/1885); the volume number in which the registration is found; and the full record (or registration) number.

On each reel the index is preceded by a volume list that shows the BCA and GSU microfilm reel numbers on which each volume of marriage registrations is filmed. This list shows, from left to right: the accession number; the box number; the volume number; the volume description (this consists of the record title "marriage registrations", the range of registration numbers in the volume [also called "record number" in the index] the communities or regions covered in the volume, and the alphabetic range covered in the volume); the date range covered in the volume (this is referred to as the "start date" and "end date" (which are recorded in this format: year/month/day, e.g., 1885/05/21); the number given to the microfilm reel by the British Columbia Archives (BCA); followed by the number given to the microfilm reel by the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU).

To find an individual registration using this index, first look up a person's name in the bride or groom index. These are alphabetical within date groupings (see finding aid for reel list). When the right name and marriage has been found, make note of the volume number, the date of the marriage, and the record number. Then return to the volume list at the beginning of the microfilm reel. Look first for the volume number, then make sure that the record number (called registration number on the volume list) and marriage date fall within the ranges shown in the entry for that volume. If they match, make note of the microfilm reel number to the right of the date range. The BCA number consists of six digits beginning with the letter "B". The GSU number consists of seven digits Instructions for locating the actual registration can be found in the Finding Aid for GR-2962.

Civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths began in BC in September 1872. The marriage registration records consist of completed statements regarding marriages submitted to District Registrars, and registered by the Director of Vital Statistics. The series includes: regular marriage registrations; delayed registrations of marriage, maintained as a separate series from 1933 to 1977; registrations of Indigenous marriages collected by Indian Agents and maintained as a separate series from 1917 to 1956; and registrations of Doukhobour marriages, maintained as a separate series from 1959 to 1982.

Records are released annually, seventy-five (75) years after the date of marriage. Microfilm reels for marriages are no longer being released, although marriage registration records for 1934 and later have been released as digital files and are accessed through the Genealogy Search database (http://search-collections.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Genealogy). Many of the pre-1934 registrations have been digitized as well and are also on the database.

The records contain: names of bride and groom; ages; marital status at time of marriage (bachelor, spinster, widow or widower, and later, divorced); profession; residence; place of birth; names of parents; profession of father; religious denomination of bride and groom; whether the marriage took place by banns or with a marriage licence; place and date of marriage; church or rite by which the couple was married; names and residences of witnesses; and name of person performing the wedding. Registration forms used by Indian Agents included tribal affiliation.

Although extensive, the records are far from complete. In addition to the legislated exclusion of “Chinese” and “Indians” between 1872 and 1888 and of any Indigenous person in BC defined as an “Indian” under the Indian Act between 1899 and 1916, from civil registration (births, marriages and deaths), there are many marriages (as well as births and deaths), especially in the early decades, that were not registered, or the records were not sent to Victoria.
