Many counties in Indiana had couples complete marriage
applications. These appl. included information such
as:
Full name of Groom
Age next birthday
Race/color
Place of birth
Nationality
Father's name
Mother's maiden name
No. of marriage
Full name of Bride
Age next birthday
Race/color
Place of birth
Nationality
Father's name
Mother's maiden name
No. of marriage
When married
Where married
Witnesses
By whom certified
Elkhart County was using these applications books as
early as 1893. I don't know how early other counties
began using them or whether the State required their
use, but if available in Cass County, the marriage
application might answer many questions.

Isn't there a difference between these marriage
records that I have
listed above. Are they all called records. But a
Certificate is what the
couple gets when they get married. And the marriage
application, is what
has to filled out at the courthouse, And the
marriage license, is singed
by you and your witnesses, and your priest/minster.
