Could someone please do a look-up for me for a marriage record?
I sent away for my parent's marriage certificate a couple of weeks ago to
Angola, Indiana, and just received a reply to my request. No certificate
is listed for the date or place! This sure took me by surprise!
I know my parents eloped and kept their marriage a secret just to see how
long they could get away with it, in fun. Our family were always told the
date and place and how the families and everyone at the time got a kick out
of the surprise. I have no reason to believe anything different.
I was always told that they got married on July 4, 1939 , in Angola,
Steuben County, Indiana. Now, I wonder if they got married in or around
Bourbon where my father was from.
I would appreciate it if someone could look-up a marriage record for HARRY
LAVON REDMAN and KATHLEEN WHITTY RIEDE for July 4, 1939. If more
information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks to any help I can get on this. I would like to order a certificate
for this, but I guess I have to find out where they got married first! Or
is it better to go to the State Vital Record Dept. instead trying the county?
