Û Marriage Register
Marriage Register Books A - F - 1845 through 1898
These Jones County Marriage Books were generously transcribed for
the Jones County page by Joyce Wells and JoAnn Walters. Data entry
by Joanne Wilken. Listings have been rearranged alphabetically by
groom's surname. Spelling and other errors are as in the originals.
Known errors are footnoted and you are encouraged to submit
additional corrections to the county coordinator.
Marriages
were not always immediately recorded in those days. There will be
some overlap, date-wise, between marriage books.
After 1880,
the law required parents' names on marriage licenses. Marriages
before then do not have parents names.
After 1880, there is
also additional information that is not given in this transcription:
Age of Bride and Groom
Whether this is the
1st, 2nd, etc. marriage
Name(s) of witnesses
Name of individual who performed the marriage ceremony
Physical site of marriage
The Jones County Genealogical
Society has the marriages on microfilm at the library.
