New Zealand Methodist marriage registers The national collection of these is held in the Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives in Christchurch. This inventory was compiled by Methodist Archives volunteers. There is no name index to registers, but in some regions indexes from this collection have been indexed by genealogical or local history groups. Some Methodist registers are held by other repositories such as the Auckland City Library and Alexander Turnbull Library. Unless you are able to visit and look through registers yourself, the cost of the Methodist Archives undertaking research on your behalf is more than the cost of obtaining a facsimile marriage certificate from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. For more information see https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/ Volunteers at the Methodist Church of NZ Archives have been indexing registers kept by Wesleyan missionaries. These registers include baptisms and sometimes deaths. Registers which have more than one function are detailed in our Baptism registers inventory, so check this list also if looking for marriage information pre 1856. The best place to locate pre-1856 marriages is the New Zealand Genealogical Society collection. www.genealogy.org.nz Maori marriages were not required to be documented by law until after 1911. Some Maori marriages are included in the Methodist Archives Wesleyan Missionary Registers Index. This index is held at the Methodist Church of NZ Archives in Christchurch and is not available in a digital form.
