Early Kings and Richmond County, New York Marriage Database

Note: the fee for copies of vital record certificates is now $18.50.

These are records from towns and villages before they were incorporated into New York City in 1898.

These "certificates" are Register Entries in a journal, and the numbers are probably Line Numbers.
The NYC website indicates that these journals are on microfilm and you have to contact them to arrange for access onsite.
There is a request form here:  https://a860-collectionguides.nyc.gov/contact

Records Search: Town Marriages

Please note that the Surname (e.g. Last Name) for either Groom or Bride (e.g. at least one or the other) is a required entry field. But since exact spellings are not always known, to aid your search we offer three different ways to specify Surnames...

  1. Exact Match ("is exactly") - This is the default surname search method.
  2. Soundex ("sounds like") - This option enables you to specify a surname spelling it out as best you can, and it will return results that "sound" similar to what you spelled out.
  3. Wild Card - With this option you can replace part of the surname with a * to match any number of letters, or _ to match a single letter. So for example, Sch* will return all names starting with Sch. Similarly, Schl_tz might return results such as Schlitz or Schlotz. 

NOTE: The wild card option applies ONLY to the surname. You can just enter the first few letters of a First Name; the search automatically adds a wild card to the end of the First Name.

For whichever of the above surname search options you would like to use, simply select the appropriate radio button option below the input field on the form. Although the additional form fields are optional, providing as much information as you can helps narrow your search when there are a large number of search results.

Groom

* Matches multiple characters. 
_ Matches one single character.

Bride

* Matches multiple characters. 
_ Matches one single character.
