I believe the second source is a separate book in the Fountain Co IN clerk's
records.
It is Supplemental Marriage Information or some similar name and contains
extra information on marriage applicants in the years prior to 1915 when the
application is on one sheet and contains parents, etc.

Subject: [INFOUNTA] Question on Marriage Records and WPA Index
I have been using the WPA Index to the Marriage Records for Fountain
County,
available on
Ancestry.com. For many names, two entries appear, one
with the name of the spouse, date of marriage, and a source, and a second
entry with the parents' names, date of marriage, age and a different source.
For example:
County: Fountain
Name: John Burris
Spouse: Albertie B Long
Marriage Date: 14 Oct 1890
Book: 10
Original Source Page: 225
County: Fountain
Name: John Burris
Father: Joseph
Mother: C Hinton
Gender: M
Age: 23
Marriage Date: 14 Oct 1890
Book: 31
Original Source Page: 80
For the first entry the source is given as Book 10, p. 225. This is the
Marriage
Record book, volume 10, p.225 and is FHL Microfilm number
1,321,639. When looking at this record on the microfilm, the information on
the marriage license and the actual marriage record is given, but no parents
are listed.
Does anyone know what the source "Book 31, p. 80" is a reference to? It
does not appear to be anything that has been microfilmed by the Family
History Library, so does anyone know where this source is and how to access
it?
Thanks for your help.
