Register of New Zealand Presbyterian Marriages 1848 to 1935 :
Introduction :
This register contains links to New Zealand Presbyterian Marriage records up to 1935. If the marriage you are looking for is likely to have been in the Otago/Southland area, please refer to our Otago & Southland Marriage index.
Please note that many of our indexes currently finish in 1920. Our indexing project is ongoing and we will be extending both the date range for existing parishes as well as indexing registers of parishes as they arrive into the archive collection.
If the marriage you are looking for is later than the range indexed on the database or is from a Presbyterian parish not listed below, please contact us and we can search our indexes and collections for you.
Information Recorded on the Original Certificates :

Ordering Copies of Certificates :
Please contact us to order a certificate, citing the names/date/parish.
The cost per certificate, sent via email, is $20.00. We are happy to discuss costs if you would prefer a photocopy of the certificate to be posted to you.
Due to the very fragile nature of some early registers, including faded handwriting, it may be necessary in some cases to provide a full typed transcript instead of a copy of the original certificate.
