Gibraltar Marriage Records Index

Marriage records in Gibraltar are an important resource for family history research, reflecting the unique historical and cultural influences of this British Overseas Territory. Civil marriage registration began in 1842, following British rule after Gibraltar became a British colony in 1713. Prior to this, marriages were primarily recorded by the Catholic Church, as the majority of Gibraltarians were Roman Catholic, though other religious denominations also maintained their own records. These records offer key details such as names, ages, occupations, and sometimes the places of origin for the couple. Gibraltar’s marriage records are essential for tracing ancestral roots, particularly due to its diverse heritage, including British, Spanish, and Genoese influences, making them invaluable for genealogical research.
