I am seeking the marriages of BEATRICH AGNES DIETRICH b.1871 and Clarice Anna Dietrich b.1874.
The lived in Hannover and would expect to find marriages in the 1890's onwards.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Doreen:
   When you stated Hannover, did you mean the city of Hannover or the
   Kingdom of Hannover (KOH)? Germans coming to the States whether from
   the KOH or the city often used the name Hannover and the specific name
   of a locality was lost. I would say that this is one of the most
   common issues which come up on this list. I know, some of the people
   on this list are going to say that the KOH no longer existed after
   1871, but individuals references to the KOH continued on, especially in
   the States.
   If your information in irrefutable as to the city, you are in luck.
   The Family History Library (familysearch.org) has a substantial amount
   of information available. The members of this list can also, provide a
   substantial sources for you.
   If you can not be certain whether your information refers to the city
   or the KOH, you will probably have to do more work close to home.
   Good luck,
   Gale

Hi Gale,
Thank-you for your reply, Yes, they were in the City Of Hannover. I am always
checking back to Family Search.org for this family but have never found anything on them.

Hi, Doreen ,
There is an all-parish index for the city of Hannover church records. You
can find the films numbers on the catalog at FamilySearch.org. It is easy to
use and covers all births, marriages, deaths till about 1874, I believe.

They were still in England in 1874, left after that date. Are there later lists
available for Hannover. ?

Hi Doreen,
For more recent information, such as church records, you should write to the
parish. If you need civil records, you would want to write to the
Standesamt. You would need to state that you are a direct descendant of the
person you are inquiring about. Has to do with German rights of privacy
laws.
