PA required marriage licenses starting Oct. 1, 1885. They are issued at the county level,
but are good no matter what county (or state) issued it. They are available at:
Courthouse in Scranton, thru State Bureau of Vital Records at New Castle, PA State
Archives in Harrisburg (they are on microfilm here). The LDS films do not start until
about 1915 and extend only to 1950 for applictions. From 1905 to late 1913, there was no
information asked about the parents. Before 1905 to late 1913 you will only get the first
names of the parents. To my knowledge, the only chance you have would be to search church
records.
