FamilySearch has added 20,262 Prince Edward Island marriage registers, from 1832 to 1888. The records can be searched by name or browsed page by page.
According to FamilySearch, “The government of Prince Edward Island did not make the recording of marriages mandatory until 1886. This collection was created from newspapers, church records, and other sources. The information given is limited and the source of the information is not always clear or provided. The card index was prepared by the Prince Edward Island Division of Vital Statistics.”
The records included are marriage records that have been taken from newspapers, church records and other sources.
FamilySearch added the Prince Edward Island Baptism Card Index, 1721-1885 a couple of years ago.
