Hanover, a town established in 1727, is located in Plymouth County. It is surrounded by Norwell on the north and east, Rockland on the north and west, and Hanson and Pembroke on the south.

 

At the end of the nineteenth century, the town records were rearranged and consolidated. An indexed copy (transcript) of the earliest (about 1727-1857) vital records was one result of the project. A filmed copy of the transcript is found on fiches 25-28. Eleven other volumes of Hanover records are included in this collection. The early volumes combine town and vital records. Later volumes are specific to town records, vital records, marriage intentions, militia lists, and Civil War servicemen.

 

Hanover Vital Records 1737-1837.

This small, red book chronicles vital records from about 1725-1815 and town records from about 1757-1837. The town records include flat rentals, oaths of office, ear marks and strays, town boundaries, and sales agreements.

A Copy of the Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths and of Intentions of Marriages of the Town of Hanover, Mass 1727-1857. Rockland MA: 1898.

When the work of copying was planned in 1896, there were 35 volumes of old records. They were rearranged into 22 volumes, with the vital records being extracted and printed here. The volumes are described on pages v and vi of this book. Some births earlier than 1727 are recorded; also, a few deaths and marriages are included with the birth records. The only intentions recorded here are those where a marriage was not recorded.
