WEDDINGS
at Holy Trinity Church

Click on the above to download the spreadsheet.
Given that Holy Trinity Church, Leverstock Green’s local parish church within the Church of England, was not consecrated until 1849 13 years after the Marriage Act of 1836, then all marriages which have taken place at Holy Trinity since then have either required the calling of Banns, or the obtaining of a Special Licence. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_licence)
Banns are read and recorded in both the churches of the participating parties, so that the banns books for Leverstock Green contain details, not just of the weddings which were due to take place at Holy Trinity but also those which would take place at other churches, usually the home church of the bride’s family. , (In virtually every case the wedding will have taken place, but a copy of the marriage certificate should be obtained to confirm the wedding took place and on what date)
I have been fortunate enough to have access to the Banns Books for Holy Trinity from March 1896 to August 1953 and to undertake a complete transcript. The resulting spreadsheet is available at the top of this page for downloading. To the sides are printed three lists from which you can check whether or not your ancestor was likely to have been married at Holy Trinity between March 1896 and August 1953. A: The Groom’s surnames, A-Z (The Groom’s name was usually the name adopted by both parties to the wedding after the ceremony) B: The Groom’s full names alphabetically by first name C: The Bride’s full name alphabetically by their first name.
Also, once you know the date of your ancestors weddings, many of them were reported in the local paper and I have wherever appropriate recorded that information in the main Chronicle texts. For example, on 13th May 1905. This account, together with the relevant banns entry, marriage certificate and a photograph of the occassion I was sent by the family completes the information.

First entries in Banns Book 1896
An extremely pretty wedding took place at the parish church of Holy Trinity Leverstock Green.
The contracting parties being Mr. Herbert Doggett, only son of M G Doggett who for many years has been sexton and Parish Clerk, and Miss Maud Seabrook of Leverstock Green. The Vicar, the Rev. Arthur Durrant performed the ceremony, and the service was fully choral. There was a large congregation of villagers to witness the event and much interest was evinced in the proceedings.
The bride was attired in a charming gown, the gift of her aunt and godmother. The presents were formed a handsome and useful collection numbered upwards of 50.
[Gazette 13th May 1905]
Front row, second left - Jane Seabrook (Maud's sister), then Herbert, Maude, Doss Steers (nee Seabrook), one of Maude's grandmothers.
Middle row, from left - Walter Seabrook (??), Mary Doggett (with blemish on photo, sorry to say), George Doggett, Lydia Seabrook (Maude's mum) and then Reuben (but note no buttonhole), then perhaps the other grandmother.
Back row - no positive identities but the extreme right may be Walter Seabrook.
