A branch of my family tree comes to dead stop in 1603 because someone in history decided that certain pages of a marriage register should be removed.

We will never know who this person was and we will never know why they removed the pages. Perhaps to cover up an embarrassing episode? What future generations of our family will wonder about, is what happened but we will never know.

Have you tried to see if he Bishops Transcripts still exist. Vicars were obliged to make a 2nd record of all the events during the year, and send them to the Bishop of whatever Diocese he belonged to.
