The marriage records for Croydon-cum-Clopton parish have been provided as background information to accompany the "Speculum Gregis" listings. Unless otherwise stated, the wedding ceremony was held at 'All Saints' Parish Church, Croydon-cum-Clopton.
This transcription has been reworked to give the full names as they would have been in normal use (forename then surname) to facilitate accurate name searches.
