Prince Edward Island, Canada, Marriage Registers, 1832-1888

This collection contains marriage registers from Prince Edward Island, Canada for the years 1832 to 1888.

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.
