I don't know how it works for other states, but when I got the marriage
certificates for my father's marriages in Las Vegas, NV, the certificate
itself had hardly any information other than the bride, groom and date. The
application for the license is what has all the information, such as age,
parents, prior marriages, if divorced, when and where. Unfortunately, in
order to get the application, you have to have the certificate number, so
that requires research at both the county clerk and county registrar
offices.
Just a little tidbit, but I hope this helps.

About from the 1900 to later has the parents names, where they lived, all
kinds of good stuff!
Birth date of the married ones where do they live, and where the parents
lived,and their Christian names, and th maiden name fo the mother, if they
were married before, adn if the got a divorce, the ones about that time are
on 2 different pages, they each have one page that they filled out
themselves. I've gottern them for other people, so I do know what they have
on them.

Good Afternoon,
Could someone kindly tell me what would be found on a Marriage
Certificate for late 19th and early 20th centuries?
I am looking for marriages which I believe took place in Marion County,
IN.
Are these certificates available for Family History research purposes?
Will I find the names of the bride's and groom's fathers?
Many thanks for any help or advice,
Regards,
Maureen in Devon UK
