| Allegations for marriages in southern England
(1687-1694)
The province or archbishopric of Canterbury covered all England and Wales except for the northern counties in the four dioceses of the archbishopric of York (York, Durham, Chester and Carlisle). Marriage licences were generally issued by the local dioceses, but above them was the jurisdiction of the archbishop, exercised through his vicar-general. Where the prospective bride and groom were from different dioceses it would be expected that they obtain a licence from the archbishop; in practice, the archbishop residing at Lambeth, and the actual offices of the province being in London, which was itself split into myriad ecclesiastical jurisdictions, and spilled into adjoining dioceses, this facility was particularly resorted to by couples from London and the home counties, although there are quite a few entries referring to parties from further afield. The abstracts of the allegations given here usually state name, address (street in London, or parish), age, and condition of bride and groom; and sometimes the name, address and occupation of the friend or relative filing the allegation. Where parental consent was necessary, a mother's or father's name may be given. The ages shown should be treated with caution; ages above 21 tended to be reduced, doubtless for cosmetic reasons; ages under 21 tended to be increased, particularly to avoid requiring parental consent; a simple statement 'aged 21' may merely mean 'of full age' and indicate any age from 21 upwards. These are merely allegations to obtain licences; although nearly all will have resulted in the issuing of the licence, many licences did not then result in marriage. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

| Assembly of Barbados
(1696)
The Association Oath was signed by the governor, council and assembly of Barbados 14 May 1696; by the officers of the governor's regiment 15 September 1696; and by the clergy 18 September 1696 (P. B. Assoc. O. R. 465-467). By this oath they promised 'to stand by and assist each other to the utmost of our Power in the support and defence of His Majesties [William III] most sacred Person and government against the late King James and all his adherents, and in case His Majesty come to any violent or untimely death (which God forbid) wee do hereby further freely and unanimously oblige ourselves to unite associate and stand by each other in revenging the same upon His Enemies and their adherents and in supporting and defending the succession of the Crown'. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
