Abstracted marriage register entries from 1700 to 1837 (plus incomplete marriage data from various sources, 1837 to 1938)
Abstracts from 1700 to 1811 are based on those in: Shropshire Parish Register Society (1913), Shropshire Parish Registers, Volume XIII. Those from 1815 to 1837 are based on copies of the Waters Upton marriage register covering those years.
Information on marriages at Waters Upton following the introduction of the new form of marriage register in 1837 is incomplete and comes from a variety of sources (the original register is still in use and so is still held by the church). These sources now (October 2024) include a limited number of Bishops Transcripts, and documents relating to marriage licence applications up to 1880.
In the abstracts from 1700 to 1811, the parties are of Waters Upton unless otherwise stated.
Abbreviations: b. = bachelor; lic. = licence; p. = parish; sp. = spinster; Wit. / Wits = witnesses; (X) = made their mark (this information given below only from 1815 onwards).

Note: From the middle of 1837 a new form of marriage register was introduced. Copies of entries in this register were sent to the local registrar, who in turn sent copies to the General Register Office (GRO). Under the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1836 it was no longer necessary to send copies of marriage register entries to the relevant Diocesan Registrar. The incumbents of Waters Upton did however send copies, from 1838 to 1840, and from 1849 to 1851.
