I have been to the Cass County Courthouse in Logansport where they have the
Marriage License books. My grandfather's sister Katie FITZGIBBON was married
to Nelson FISH in 1883; my grandfather's (Patrick FITZGIBBON) first marriage
was to Anna Marie BYRNE in 1903 -- the first part of the records from both years
includes only the names of the bride and groom, the date the license was
issued, and the name of the County Clerk; the second part includes the names of
bride, groom and clergyman, plus the date of the marriage. Sorry to say, no
ages, no parents' names! I can send a scan of one of the xerox copies to anyone
looking to see an example of a marriage license from then.
