How many marriages were reported in Syracuse, NY in 1886

July 2, 2026

I couldn’t verify the exact number of marriages reported in Syracuse, NY in 1886 from the available source snippets alone, so I don’t want to guess. The closest relevant source I found is the 1886 New York State marriage index, which is the right place to confirm the figure for Syracuse or Onondaga County.

What I can confirm

New York began statewide registration of marriages in 1880–81, so 1886 should be covered in official records.

There is an 1886 marriage index for New York State available in archive form, which would be the most direct way to count entries tied to Syracuse.

Best next step

To get the exact count, you’d need to search the 1886 index for Syracuse entries or filter for Onondaga County and then total the marriages.
