Structure of SS. Peter & Paul Marriage Register, 1914-1915

This marriage register is a bound book that consists of:

• an A-Z surname index; followed by
• an entry section that consists of pre-printed register pages that are sequentially numbered from "1" through the last page (at least "500", because that is the highest number in the online index pages). Each marriage register page has space to enter 2 marriages.  The pages through 1915 are filled with handwritten entries that are entered in chronological sequence but are not numbered. The earliest marriage entry in the register is dated 31 January 1914.  The date of the final entry is unknown.
