Vital Records of Billerica, Massachusetts

Vital Records of Billerica, Massachusetts: to the End of the Year 1850

The following records of births, marriages and deaths include all entries to be found in the books of record kept by the town clerks; in the church records; in the Middlesex County Records; in the cemetery inscriptions; and in private records found in family Bibles, etc. These records are printed in a condensed form in which every essential particular has been preserved. In all records the original spelling is followed. The various spellings of a name should be examined, as items about the same family or individual may be found under different spellings. Marriages are printed under the names of both parties. When a marriage appears without the intention recorded it is designated with an asterisk. There are no intentions of marriages recorded in Billerica.

Additional information which does not appear in the original text of an item, i.e., any explanation, query, inference, or difference shown in other entries of the record, is bracketed. Parentheses are used only when they occur in the original text or to separate clauses found there — such as the birthplace of parents in late marriage records.

When places other than Billerica and Massachusetts are named in the original records they are given in the printed copy.
