Nonconformist register
A Nonconformist register is broadly similar to a parish register, but deriving from a nonconformist church or chapel. Nonconformist churches are protestant churches which do not conform to the doctrines of the established Church of England. Examples include the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian churches and the Quakers. Following Hardwick's Marriage Act of 1753, all English and Welsh marriages had to take place in a Church of England parish church. However any baptisms and burials from other denominations might take place within their own churches and chapels, and these were often recorded in their own nonconformist registers. Nevertheless it is worth remembering that there was no legal obligation for them to record any such events. A significant number of early nonconformist chapels never maintained any such registers, or they maintained them only sporadically. In earlier centuries such omissions might sometimes be partly due to fear of persecution. Occasionally marriages in other places of worship elsewhere might also be recorded, although such entries originally had no strict legal status.
