Coles County Marriage Books
The
marriage books are indexes to Coles County Marriages.
Coles County marriage dates are marriage license applications dates. In some cases
they may be the actual dates of marriage but usually marriages occur a few days
later. This is not unusual in genealogical publications.
"An
even more valuable source for the genealogist is an original application for a
marriage license. Together these two records marriage certificate and marriage
license could contain the names of parents, dates and places of birth of the bride
and groom, relatives who appeared as witnesses or bondsmen, places of residence, and
clues to religious affiliation (which could lead to church records of children,
burial records of other family members, etc)." [www.Genealogy.com "Finding
a Marriage Date" by Karen Clifford 6 August, 2002]
In some
cases the date of marriage is not available in county records because the information
was never returned to the county after the license was purchased. For marriage
license copies, the date of application may be sent to the county.
