Maryland Death records - [pricing may have changed]
Thank you for your inquiry regarding birth, death and marriage records in the State of Maryland.
Please note that there are no civil birth or death certificates for Baltimore City before the year 1875, and for Maryland counties before May 1898.For birth and death records before these years, we rely on church records.You can view the inventory of church records in our possession here:
http://speccol.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/religion/cfm/dsp_churches.cfmhttp://speccol.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/religion/cfm/dsp_churches.cfm
Please keep in mind that we do not have the records of all churches in Maryland.In some cases, the church records are incomplete.
Our staff can search the records in our possession for one church of your choice and any available secondary sources for a non-refundable fee of $35.00, which includes a copy of one record, if found.
You can find more ideas about locating evidence of birth on our genealogy page:

Marriage licences begin in 1777.Please note that marriage licenses do not contain much information:usually the names of the bride and groom and the date that the license was issued, not the ceremony.
Sometimes, the name of the religious official who married the couple is listed.Then, this individual can be looked up in the book entitled Directory of Ministers and the Maryland Churches They Served, 1634-1990, by Edna Agatha Kanely to determine the congregation he served.
Marriage records begin circa 1865 and contain somewhat more information, which can vary somewhat by county, including date of licence, date of marriage; name, age, race, occupation, marital status, and residence of the bride and groom; and name, title and residence of religious official.
Marriage certificates begin in 1914 and contain the names, ages residences, and occupations of the couple; and the name and church affiliation of person performing the ceremony.
Please note that marriage records in Maryland do not contain parents'
names or dates of birth of the couple.
