I got in on this message kinda late but wish to tell you that in 1918 they
put on the marriage license who signed for an underage person. Perhaps they
put that on because they wanted to and it may not have been required. My
cousin and I were getting marriage certificates for our family and when we
got the one for her father the person signing for him to get married wrote
on the bottom that he had taken in this boy (our ancestor) and raised him to
age 17 as no one else wanted him. by that short note in the marriage record
90 years later we were able to determine that he lived with this family and
was never adopted. We were just thrilled to find that. so you never know
when you request a copy of a marriage record just what may be on it. char
