Marriages in Kent and Medway

You asked

I would like to know the number of marriages that took place in 2017 in Kent and Medway.

We said

Thank you for your request.

The latest statistics available on the number of marriages which took place in Kent and Medway is for 2015. These can be found in table 14 of the downloadable dataset for 2015 here:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/marriagecohabitationandcivilpartnerships/datasets/marriagesinenglandandwales2013

Figures for 2016 and 2017 are not available yet as there is currently a time lag of approximately 26 months between the reference year and publication of final annual marriage statistics. This is due to delays in the submission of marriage entries by the clergy and authorised persons.

Marriage statistics are derived from information recorded when marriages are registered as part of civil registration, a legal requirement. These statistics represent civil and religious marriages that took place in England and Wales only. Marriages to residents of England and Wales that took place abroad are not included while marriages that took place in England and Wales to non-residents are included.
