Note: as these are archived versions some of the links may no longer work, but the original site contained Marriages at Alveston, 1614-1812 (separate web pages for Brides and Grooms).

• Nigel Batty-Smith's site of United Kingdom Genealogy has scanned images of Marriages at Alvaston, 1614-1812 (from Phillmore's Derbyshire Parish Registers - Marriages, Volume 6).
